Quick Breakfast Pizza Roll

Ingredients

•          Non-stick cooking spray
•          1 deli flat 7-grain thin sandwich roll, split
•          4 slices turkey pepperoni (0.25 ounce total), quartered
•          2 tablespoons diced green sweet pepper
•          2 tablespoons pre-sliced mushrooms

•          1 tablespoon milk
•          2 teaspoons pizza sauce
•          1 slice mozzarella cheese, cut diagonally into quarters

Directions

1 Coat a small non-stick saucepan with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Sprinkle pepperoni, sweet pepper, and mushrooms into saucepan; cook for 2 minutes. 

2 In a small bowl, whisk together egg whites and milk; pour over pepperoni mixture in saucepan. Cook until egg white mixture begins to set. Using a spatula, fold the partially cooked egg white mixture over; cook about 2 minutes more or until it is cooked through.
