Categories     Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons softened butter (butter has divided uses)
4 English Muffins
4 slices Canadian Bacon
4 eggs
1/2 cup water
4 slices American cheese

Steps:

  • Split open English Muffins and place them into a toaster, toast the English Muffins.
  • In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook Candian bacon on both sides for about 1 to 2 minutes in two teaspoons of butter. The bacon should begin to just brown.
  • While the Canadian bacon is cooking, remove the English muffins from the toaster and spread softened butter on both halves.
  • Place the 1 slice of Canadian bacon on each English Muffin bottom.
  • Add about 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet where you cooked the bacon.
  • Place the quart-sized canning lids screw size up (or you can use an egg ring) into the skillet.
  • Spray the canning lid with non-stick spray. Crack an egg into each of the rings.
  • Break the yolk with a folk. Pour about 1/2 cup of water into the skillet, and place a lid on top. Cook until the eggs are set, it should take about two minutes.
  • Gently remove the eggs from the rings, and place one egg on each piece of Canadian bacon.
  • Top each egg with one slice of American cheese, top cheese with the top of the English muffin.
  • Wrap each egg McMuffin with foil or parchment paper. Wait about 30 seconds before serving.

OPEN-FACED EGG MCMUFFIN



Open-Faced Egg Mcmuffin image

I love Egg McMuffins from McDonald's (besides their milkshakes, they are one of the only other things I eat there). This version is quick and a little better for you (I think). You can alter the recipe a bit, if you'd like, and just use one egg, 1/2 a slice of cheese, and one piece of ham, and put the other half of the english muffin on top, like a sandwich (but then it's not open-faced, and it'd defeat the purpose of this recipe. :) ). I make this when I have an Egg McMuffin craving or when it's a late breakfast and I'm SUPER hungry, because it's very filling.

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large eggs
1 slice American cheese
2 slices deli ham (if it's circle-shaped, all the better!)
1 English muffin (I use Thomas Light Multi-grain)

Steps:

  • Split the english muffin with a fork, and toast it. When it's toasted, set open-faced on a plate, and put one slice of deli ham on each English muffin side.
  • Heat a small nonstick pan on medium-high heat, and break both eggs into it, being careful not to break the yolk.
  • When the white is firm enough, "separate" the egg whites from each other (because they've probably cooked their whites together) with a silicone spatula, and flip each egg over. Try to make them about the size of the english muffin, if you can.
  • While the eggs are cooking, divide your slice of cheese in half, and arrange half a piece on each piece of ham. You might need to arrange it more to make it fit (the egg will melt the cheese).
  • When the egg yolks are done to your liking, take the eggs and put one on each side.
  • Tip: I eat these by holding the English muffin with my hand shaped like a "C" around the base and sometimes I have to hold the egg on when I bite into it with my index finger, so I recommend cooking the yolks all the way, unless you want juicy yolk all over the place!

EGG MCMUFFIN



Egg McMuffin image

Developed by a McDonald's franchisee in Santa Barbara to have a breakfast sandwich that emulated an "eggs benedict." The McMuffin has become the standard breakfast sandwich. These are so quick n' easy to make with minimum clean up.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large egg (grade A)
1 English muffin
1 slice Canadian bacon
1 slice American cheese (I recommend Kraft)
butter
cooking spray

Steps:

  • You will also need an Egg Ring, or a tuna can with the top and bottom off.
  • Pre-heat an electric griddle to 275 degrees.
  • Toast your English muffin by laying both sides face down on the griddle and applying pressure with spatula.
  • This takes 1 to 1-1/2 minutes.
  • (they should be medium brown) Set aside.
  • Lay your egg ring/can on the pre-heated grill.
  • Spray with cooking spray or a pat of butter to prevent sticking.
  • Crack the egg and pour into ring on the grill.
  • Break the yolk with a sharp instrument so it flows.
  • Butter both toasted halves of the English muffin with melted butter.
  • Put a slice of American cheese on the bottom half.
  • 2 to 2½ minutes after you started cooking the egg, the whites should firm up, and the yolk should still be a bit "liquidly".
  • Carefully remove the ring, leaving the egg on the griddle. You may have to "slice" around the edges if it sticks.
  • Very carefully turn the egg over, and lay one slice of Canadian bacon on the griddle.
  • 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.
  • 20-30 seconds after flipping the Canadian bacon, remove.
  • Place the Canadian bacon on top of the cooked egg, and cover with the top of the toasted English muffin.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your Egg McMuffins. Fresh eggs, milk, and cheese are essential.
  • Cook your eggs over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming overcooked and rubbery.
  • Don't overstuff your Egg McMuffins. Less is more when it comes to fillings. Too much filling will make them difficult to eat and might cause the muffin to fall apart.
  • Use a good quality English muffin. This is the foundation of your Egg McMuffin, so make sure it's fresh and fluffy.
  • Toast your English muffin before assembling your Egg McMuffin. This will help it to hold up better and prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cheese, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, and avocado.
  • Enjoy your Egg McMuffins immediately. They're best when they're hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Open-faced Egg McMuffins are super versatile and will suit your breakfast needs, whether you're looking for grab-and-go or sit-down meal. They're easy to make, delicious, and a great way to start your day. So next time you're in the mood for a classic breakfast sandwich, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
