Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 count English muffins
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices Canadian bacon
- 2 slices American cheese or cheddar
- 0.5 tablespoon butter or cooking oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt to taste
- 0.1 teaspoon black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly butter or oil the pan.
- Cut the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
- Add the Canadian bacon slices to the hot skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until slightly browned and heated through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Crack the eggs directly into the skillet. If you want a perfectly round egg, use an egg ring. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set and the yolk is cooked to your liking (runny, jammy, or firm). Season with salt and pepper.
- While the eggs are still in the pan, place a slice of American cheese on top of each egg to allow it to melt slightly.
- To assemble, place a slice of Canadian bacon on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin. Top with the cheesy egg, then cover with the other half of the English muffin.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Egg McMuffin!
Notes
For an extra kick, add a dash of hot sauce to your egg. You can also customize by adding a slice of tomato or a sprinkle of chives.
