What’s in a Mcdonald’s Egg McMuffin?
The egg McMuffin is an iconic breakfast sandwich on the McDonald’s menu, and for good reason! Who can say no to gooey cheese, fried eggs, and juicy, Canadian bacon encased in a buttery English muffin? Not me!
English Muffins: The classic bread choice for a McMuffin. Unsalted Butter: Helps cook the Canadian bacon without burning it. Canadian Bacon: Thick, juicy, and perfectly round! Eggs: The real meat of an egg McMuffin. Choose large eggs. Salt + Pepper: Enhance the flavor of the eggs. Water: Helps the eggs steam to fluffy perfection. American Cheese: A classic gooey, melty cheese that pairs perfectly with eggs.
Pro Tip: If you’re not sure whether your eggs have expired, do the float test. Drop an egg into a full glass of water. If it sinks, it is safe to eat. If it floats, it has gone bad.
Variations on a Homemade Egg McMuffin
The best part about these egg McMuffins is that you can customize them however you want. Try a bagel, roll, or croissant instead of an English muffin. Try breakfast sausage, turkey sausage, deli turkey or ham, bacon, or turkey bacon instead of Canadian bacon. For cheese, try mozzarella, Monterey Jack, cheddar, or pepper Jack cheese instead of American. And feel free to add chopped tomatoes, spinach, basil, or steamed veggies. Add the veggies to the jar lid with the egg before you cook it.
