Egg Mcmuffin

Kana Kahuna's Note:

Developed to have a breakfast sandwich that emulated an "eggs benedict" the McMuffin has become the standard sando for breakfast. These are so quick n' easy to make with minimum clean up.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 1

• 1 large egg (grade A)
• 1 English muffin
• 1 slice Canadian bacon
• 1 slice American cheese (real...not processed cheese food)
• butter
• cooking spray

Directions:

1. You will also need an Egg Ring, or a tuna can with the top and bottom off.
2. Pre-heat an electric griddle to 275 degrees.
3. Toast your english muffin by laying both sides face down on the griddle and applying pressure with spatula.
4. This takes 1 to 1½ minutes.
5. (they should be medium brown) Set aside.
6. Lay your egg ring/can on the pre-heated grill.
7. Spray with Pam to prevent sticking.
8. Crack the egg and pour into ring on the grill.
9. Poke the yolk with a sharp instrument so it flows.
10. Butter both toasted halves of the english muffin liberally with melted butter.
11. Put a slice of American cheese on the bottom half.
12. 2 to 2½ minutes after you started cooking the egg, the whites should firm up, and the yolk should still be a bit"liquidy".
13. Carefully remove the ring, leaving the egg on the griddle. You may have to"slice" around the edges if it sticks.
14. Very carefully turn the egg over, and lay one slice of Canadian bacon on the griddle.
15. Cook the egg 45-60 seconds after turning, after about 30-45 seconds,"flip" the Canadian bacon, and remove the egg, placing it on the bottom half (cheesed half) of the english muffin.
16. 20-30 seconds after flippng the Canadan bacon, remove.
17. Place the Canadian bacon on top of the cooked egg, and cover with the top of the toasted english muffin.

I make mock 2 "egg mcmuffins" just about every morning. I do not use an egg ring but I shape my eggs while they cook. I also do not like useing the "ham". Found sharp chedder or 2% single slices work very well for the cheese. =)

A small flat microwave-safe bowl sprayed with cooking spray also works for the egg and makes it McDonald's-like. Microwave egg in bowl for one minute while the muffin is toasting and then an extra 30 seconds or so with the Canadian bacon and cheese on top. The muffin will be done now and the egg pops right out onto it! I also find that the butter is not needed. The cheese is enough fat for me! Thanks for this!

Great - tastes just like, or perhaps even better than, the McDonalds version. I made it in a regular pan without the egg ring/can and it came out fine. Very easy and quick. Thank you!
