Egg McMuffin

A Copycat McDonald's Egg McMuffin is one of my favorite quick breakfasts. Make a bunch, freeze, and have them on hand for busy mornings. Plus they taste just like the original!

Ingredients

  • 1 English Muffin
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 slice Canadian bacon or ham
  • 1 slice American or Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  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

  • You can't go wrong making hash browns to serve alongside these sandwiches. 
  • To get that round egg shape that McDonald's is famous for, use a tuna can or a mason jar lid. Spray the inside with cooking spray and place it on a hot skillet. Break the egg into the can and poke the yolk. Cook it until it reaches the desired consistency, then slide the egg out. Perfect shape! You can also use an egg ring, an egg mold, or whatever you have on hand. 
  • Canadian bacon is the perfect round shape for this breakfast sandwich. Sometimes I'll use leftover dinner ham or even bacon slices. That's the beauty of making these McDonald's Egg McMuffin sandwiches at home: you can make them however you want!
