Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) to keep the sandwiches warm while assembling.
Slice the English muffins in half and lightly toast them in a toaster or under a broiler. Spread a thin layer of butter on each half while warm. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the Canadian bacon slices. Sear each side for about 1-2 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Lightly spray the skillet with cooking spray and place it back on medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, ensuring the yolks remain intact. Optionally, use a round egg ring for a perfectly circular shape.
Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny, or longer for firmer yolks. Remove from heat.
To assemble the sandwiches, place the bottom half of each toasted English muffin on a clean surface. Layer in the following order: one slice of Canadian bacon, one egg, one slice of cheddar cheese, and top with the other half of the English muffin.
Optional: To melt the cheese more fully, wrap each sandwich in aluminum foil and place them in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Egg McMuffin!
