Directions
-
Preheat the broiler.

In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, and caraway seeds to create a glaze.
-
Spread 1 tablespoon of the mustard mixture evenly on each toasted English muffin half.
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
-
Saut&# 195;© the Canadian bacon slices until thoroughly heated and slightly browned, turning once. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, lightly sauté the sliced apples in the remaining drippings until just tender. Set aside.
-
In a large clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold the grated cheddar cheese, paprika, salt, and pepper into the beaten egg whites.
-
Arrange the Canadian bacon slices and sautéed apple slices on top of the mustard-coated muffin halves.
-
Mound the egg white and cheese mixture generously over the toppings on each muffin, spreading it evenly.
-
Place the muffins on a baking sheet and broil until the tops are puffed and golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.
