Egg McMuffin
Description
The classic Egg McMuffin sandwich consists of an English muffin toasted until lightly browned and buttered, topped with a round cooked egg, a slice of Canadian bacon or ham, and a slice of American or Cheddar cheese. Cooking the egg in a circular mold helps keep a uniform shape similar to commercial versions. The Canadian bacon adds a slightly salty, meaty layer, while the melted cheese provides creaminess that holds the sandwich together.
The English muffin’s crunch contrasts with the soft egg and bacon for satisfying bite variety often enjoyed during breakfast. Assemble the sandwich by layering cheese on the muffin bottom, then placing the egg and bacon before topping with the other muffin half.
To accompany the sandwich, hash browns are a common choice, and the sandwich can be customized with different cheeses or breakfast meats. Toasting the English muffin in a toaster or griddle works well, and reheating the sandwich gently preserves its texture.
Ingredients
- 1 English Muffin
- 1 large egg
- 1 lice Canadian bacon or ham
- 1 lice American cheese or Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Cut the English muffin in half, butter each side, and toast. You can toast in the toaster, on a griddle, or in the oven at 300 degrees F. for a few minutes.
- In a skillet, cook the egg to the desired hardness.
- In the same skillet, heat up the Canadian bacon or ham over medium heat until warm.
- Assemble the sandwich by layering the bottom half of the English muffin with cheese, egg, and Canadian bacon. Top with the other half of the toasted English muffin.
Notes
- For round eggs like the original, use a cleaned tuna can or mason jar lid sprayed with cooking spray to mold the egg in the pan.
- Canadian bacon provides a perfect shape but you can substitute with ham or bacon slices if preferred.
- Serve alongside hash browns for a fuller breakfast experience.
