Homemade Egg McMuffin Recipe
An easy homemade egg McMuffin copycat recipe that's ready in less than 5 minutes and perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast!
Yield: 1 sandwich
Ingredients
- 1 English muffin
- 1 large egg
- 1 slice of Canadian bacon
- 1 slice American cheese (or sub cheddar)
Instructions
- Toast your English muffin.
- Meanwhile, heat a small pan on high heat to warm up your Canadian bacon and get those nice browned marks. I don’t put anything in the pan - just the slice. It takes about 45 seconds on each side.
- While that's going, coat a ramekin with cooking spray and crack your egg into it. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and whisk it with a fork. Put the ramekin in the microwave and microwave on high for 40-50 seconds. Start with 40 and see if your egg is cooked and not too jiggly. Add another 5 seconds at a time if you need it cooked a bit more. (Mine is perfect at 45 seconds.)
- Remove the cooked egg from the microwave and top it with the cheese right away to help the cheese melt.
- Assemble your sandwich: Place the Canadian bacon on the bottom half of the English muffin. Add the top half of the English muffin to the top of the ramekin, over the cheese. Invert the ramekin to release the egg and then place it on the Canadian bacon to finish the sandwich. Enjoy!
Notes
Make ahead: You can make the entire sandwich in advance. Let cool then wrap it completely in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave when ready to serve.
Freezer: Assemble the sandwich, let cool, then wrap in aluminum foil. Place in a freezer safe ziplock bag. (This helps prevent freezer burn and keeps the bread from getting icy, which will make it soggy upon thawing.) Label and date it then freeze for up to 4-5 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator then reheat in the microwave.
