In honor of Peg Bundy, who wasn’t such a queen in the kitchen, this recipe is made just for her—and for you—for days when you need a healthy, energy-revving meal in a pinch!

The English muffin will rev your energy with its brain and muscle-fueling carbohydrates and the cheese will extend the energy boost of the English muffin with its lean and satiating protein.
