Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole English muffin
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 slice Canadian bacon
- 1 slice American cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 spray Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Split the English muffin in half using a fork and toast the halves until golden brown.
Once toasted, spread butter on each half while still warm.
In the preheated skillet, place the Canadian bacon slice and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until heated and slightly browned. Remove and set aside.
Use an egg ring or a cleaned canning jar lid in the skillet to cook the egg perfectly round. Grease the inside of the ring with cooking spray for easy release.
Crack the egg into the ring, season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the white is set and the yolk is slightly runny (or cooked to your preference).
While the egg is cooking, place the slice of American cheese on top of one toasted muffin half until it begins to melt slightly.
Once the egg is cooked to your liking, remove the egg ring carefully using tongs or a towel.
To assemble, place the Canadian bacon on top of the cheese-covered muffin half, then add the cooked egg. Finish by topping with the other muffin half.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Egg McMuffin!
