Author — Jake
Serves — 3
These homemade McMuffins are a tastier, healthier option that makes a perfect grab-n-go breakfast that’s ready in under 10 minutes.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp salted butter divided
  • 3 english muffins
  • 6 slices canadian bacon
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup water plus more as needed
  • 3 slices american cheese
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Melt 1 Tablespoon butter in a medium sized skillet.
  • Fry canadian bacon on each side for 30 seconds-1 minute or until slightly golden. Take out of the skillet and set aside.
  • Place the Mason jar lid upside down in a heated skillet. Spray the inside of the band with cooking spray.
  • Before cooking the egg, get your supplies out: a fork, glass of water, a pan lid, salt and pepper, a spatula and a paper towel.
  • Set the temperature under the pan to medium or medium low.
  • Crack an egg into the lid/band. Poke the yolk a few times with a fork.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour enough water into the pan to come up about a third of the way up the outside side of the band. Immediately cover pan with a lid.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes or until your egg is cooked the way you like it. (I like to cook it until there is no more jiggle present)
  • Take eggs out of the pan and pour out the water. Using the spatula, turn the lid upside down and remove the lid from the cooked egg.
  • Set the egg aside onto a plate.
  • Dry the inside of the pan quickly with the paper towel.
  • Put 1 Tablespoon of butter into the frying pan and fry the 2 halves of the English muffin or bread for about half a minute on one side or until golden brown.
  • To assemble McMuffin, place a slice of cheese on top of the bottom half of the english muffin. Follow with the egg, 2 slices of canadian bacon, and the top half of the english muffin. (It should go muffin, cheese, egg, canadian bacon, muffin).
  • Enjoy your homemade Egg McMuffin!

Notes

Storage:
  • Store: Cool completely, wrap individually, and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • To Freeze: You can freeze the sandwiches individually and pull them out as needed. Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic and put them in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  • To Reheat: Wrap the sandwich in paper towels and place them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
Tips:
Make sure the skillet is warm before adding the egg or it will run out from under the lid. You can also use both parts of a mason jar lid (the circular insert and the band) to make a little nest for the egg to cook in).
