Homemade Egg McMuffins
This homemade Egg McMuffin recipe is a McDonald's copycat made with eggs, Canadian bacon, cheese and toasted English muffins. A breakfast sandwich favorite!
Ingredients
- 4 English muffins , split in half
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices Canadian bacon
- 4 slices cheddar or American cheese
- 1-2 Tablespoons butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Cook
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook 4 Canadian bacon slices until they are heated through and slightly browned. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease. Set aside.
- Using the same skillet or a toaster, toast 4 English muffins split in half until they are golden brown and crispy. Spread with 1-2 Tablespoons butter and set aside.
Eggs
- In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 Tablespoon butter over medium heat. Crack 4 eggs into the skillet, ensuring they are spaced apart. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook the eggs to your desired level of doneness (over-easy or over-hard works well for this sandwich), flipping half way through cooking.
Assemble
- Place one slice of cheese on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin. Place a cooked egg on each cheese slice. Next, place the Canadian bacon on top. Place back in the pan for a minute to melt cheese over low heat. Add any desired toppings.
- Top each sandwich with the other half of the English muffin. Serve while warm.
Notes
For serving: Feel free to customize your Egg McMuffins by adding sliced avocado, fresh baby spinach, or a dollop of hot sauce or salsa for an extra kick of flavor.
Note: You can make several Egg McMuffins at once by cooking the eggs in batches and assembling them simultaneously. Preheat your oven to 200°F and keep the sandwiches warm while you finish cooking the rest.
Freezing: Allow to cool and then wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap, or aluminum foil. Store the Egg McMuffins in an airtight freezer-safe container or a resealable freezer bag up to 2 months.
