Egg McMuffin

The Egg McMuffin is a breakfast sandwich with toasted English muffin halves layered with a cooked large egg, Canadian bacon, and a slice of American or Cheddar cheese. It offers a balance of textures from the crisped muffin to the tender egg and savory meat, all melded by melted cheese. This easy-to-make sandwich mimics the familiar fast-food classic.

  1. 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.
  2. In a skillet, cook the egg to the desired hardness.
  3. In the same skillet, heat up the Canadian bacon or ham over medium heat until warm.
  4. 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.
