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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Split the English muffin in half using a fork and toast the halves until golden brown.

Step 3

Once toasted, spread butter on each half while still warm.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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).

Step 7

While the egg is cooking, place the slice of American cheese on top of one toasted muffin half until it begins to melt slightly.

Step 8

Once the egg is cooked to your liking, remove the egg ring carefully using tongs or a towel.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Egg McMuffin!
