So Lean Muffin Breakfast Sandwiches
Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master

Show of hands: who loves McDonald’s Sausage McMuffin with Egg? I love them. But at 450 calories (252 from fat), 28g of fat, and 260mg of cholesterol, it is a tough thing to allow myself to consume. But imagine if you could not only get the same taste of a McDonald’s Sausage McMuffin with Egg but at a bigger portion and guilt-free nutritional specs? You would jump at that opportunity right?
Look no further. The So Lean Muffin Breakfast Sandwich IS that breakfast sandwich holy grail of taste, size, and healthy qualities. When I first saw this box in the freezer aisle I was of course skeptical. (I can’t imagine how many times I have written that line). This came in a minimally designed package that looked like it belonged in a natural herbs store not the flashy glitz of the florescent lighted freezer aisle. Or simply put: it looked like something you would buy if you were allergic to something and had no alternative.
The package came with 2 individually wrapped sandwiches and each were a decent size. To heat I wrapped in a paper towel, defrosted for 2 minutes in the microwave and then heated for 60 seconds on high.

What came out was something that seemed to have been hand-delivered by angels (wearing oven mitts: they were hot!). These muffin sandwiches from So Lean contain a pork sausage pattie, cholesterol free egg, reduced fat cheddar cheese, and a whole grain english muffin.
After my first bite I knew that this was my new best friend in my mouth and there would surely be a warm reception down there in my belly. The sausage pattie was spiced perfectly and the egg fluffy and airy not rubbery. The cheese was the equivalent of a single slice and it was a perfect ration for the overall sandwich package. Finally, the whole grain english muffin was firm but not chewy or crunchy for that matter.
How do you say “perfection” in Frozenfoodeese? I say “So Lean Muffin Breakfast Sandwich”. That’s why this baby got the coveted 5 Stars.
