Better than McDonalds Egg McMuffin

[3-2-1]

I picked up one of those egg cooking rings and have been playing around in the kitchen and discovered how to make an egg sandwich that to me tastes better than a McDonalds Egg McMuffin and reminds me a little like back in the old days when everything was a little differently made in "fast food" restaurants. The secret is to use a real Thomas original muffin and Kraft sliced American cheese. If you change out either of these for knockoff this really changes the sandwich taste. Add whatever meat product you like, I prefer the taste of bacon because well everything is better with bacon..LoL. Naw just personal preference as sausage can a bit greasy but Canadian bacon is good. This morning I decided to stay with my favorite and went bacon, hardest parts are not to over or undercook the egg (I like a little ooze) and not totally melt the cheese. Enjoy!

Never thought of a mason jar top but whatever works

Kewl little gadget. I usually use a round stainless steel biscuit/cookie cutter, but new gadgets are always fun!

You can just break the yolk and stir into the egg, like I said I like a little ooze but you can do it however you like :)

Looks great ! Used to love Egg McMuffins, but they started to be somewhat different some years ago. I've made similar to what you describe with bacon, but I love Pork Roll, and it's excellent with that too. Also the English Muffins are never toasted enough from McD's. Nice work, thanks for sharing.

looks good! I have some of those rings laying around somewhere. Should dig them up and make a couple.

LIKE; I use the silicone egg rings on my flat top and love them. The family likes me to slightly scramble the egg before cooking (beat me to it) but I could get down with over easy. While I agree on the points made about the muffin and cheese, the real secret to replicating the flavor of the McMuffin IMO is a well toasted muffin. PS no need to cook the cheese it will melt once assembled.

My wife likes the yolk broken when it's in the ring and stirred just a bit, she doesn't car for any soft yolk ooze like I do. Definitely toasting the muffin is critical to the crunch factor. I'll try next time with no lid and cut down on a dirty dish Thank You

Since Covid I've been tinkering with all sorts of gadgets but the egg rings make for a nice egg sandwich creation. Prolly wouldn't try making this on a smoker
