Egg McMuffins are one of my favorite breakfasts. I made a bunch of these at one time, wrapped them up and put them in the freezer. My husband likes to snag one in the mornings and heat it up for a quick breakfast on-the-go (he will usually put it in the fridge the night before so it is thawed out– that way it heats up better).
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 English muffin
- 1 slice Canadian bacon or ham
- 1 slice American or Cheddar cheese
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Cut the English muffin in half, butter, and toast on a griddle or in the oven at 300 degrees for a few minutes. In a skillet, cook the egg to desired hardness (if you want to get really technical like McDonalds, cut the top off of a tuna can, spray the inside well with cooking spray, place that on the hot skillet and break the egg into the can and poke the yolk. Cook until the egg becomes white and solid. You can use an egg ring too, that would probably be easier.) Heat up the Canadian bacon or ham in the skillet. Put a slice of cheese on the bottom half of the English muffin. Place the egg on top of that, then the Canadian bacon on top of the egg, and cover with the top of the toasted English muffin. Really, though, make it any way you want! You have had a McMuffin, you know what it's supposed to look like. :)

These sound super…I have a McDonald's breakfast addiction I'm trying to break
Love your blog- seriously made my meal plan this week! To save time, you can spray some cooking spray in a mug, put the egg in there, break the yolk and add S&P to your liking and cook it in the microwave for 40 seconds for a perfectly done egg. You'll need to saran wrap the top and I like to pause the cook time into 30 second and 10 second stints to avoid an atomic egg situation. But it comes out in such a perfect little shape- just like Mickey Dees. Thanks for saving me from a cooking slump this week! Seriously!
Thanks for the tip Bleen! I will have to try that next time. It would definitely be a time saver! I am all about saving time and avoiding a big mess! One dirty mug? I can handle that (actually I can say my husband can handle that.. he's the dish doer)
I do something similar but I mix and egg with a little salt and pepper and pour into a microwave safe cereal size bowl sprayed with Pam and cover with a paper plate. I cook for one minute. Add shredded cheddar to the top and cook for another 30 seconds with paper plate still covering bowl. Done.
