Copycat Egg McMuffin Recipe
Easy Egg McMuffins are one of my favorite breakfasts, but who has the time and money to make McDonald’s runs every morning? These are quick and easy and taste absolutely scrumptious, even better than the fast food version. Fluffy egg, crisp ham or bacon and gooey cheese all melted together on a tender English muffin, so delicious! I make a huge batch at a time, then wrap them and freeze for breakfast later on. My husband loves to heat it up before work and my kids adore them for breakfast or even an after school snack.
Tips for Making Homemade Egg McMuffin Sandwiches
To get that round egg shape that McDonald’s is famous for, use a tuna can. Spray the inside and place it on a hot skillet and break the egg into the can. Cook it until the desired consistency and slide the egg out of the tuna can. Perfect shape! You can use an egg ring too, or egg mold or whatever you have on hand.Canadian bacon is the perfect round shape for this breakfast sandwich. Sometimes I’ll use leftover dinner ham or even bacon slices. That’s the beauty of making these McMuffin sandwiches at home: you can make them however you want!Fry up your Canadian bacon or ham in a hot skillet using butter or cooking spray.Make sure to toast your English muffin before assembling the sandwiches.For maximum melting, I like to put a slice of cheese on the bottom half of the English muffin, then place the hot egg on top of that, then the Canadian bacon, and cover with the toasted English Muffin.
How to Re-Heat Frozen Egg McMuffin Sandwiches
This recipe is so easy to make several ahead of time, wrap tightly, then freeze. They make the quickest and easiest hearty breakfast! Sometimes I will leave a few to thaw out in the refrigerator overnight, then microwave for about 30 seconds to one minute then serve! If they’re completely frozen, you’ll need to microwave a little longer, perhaps about 90 seconds. I always remove the plastic wrap first, then wrap the sandwich in a paper towel before microwaving.
