Title: Copycat Mcdonald's Egg Mcmuffin
Categories: Breads, Pork, Cheese, Eggs
Yield: 1 servings

1 English muffin; split open
1 tb Butter
1 sl American cheese
1 lg Egg
pn Salt
1/4 c Water
1 sl Canadian bacon

Toast both halves of the English muffin until they're
golden brown. Spread the butter over the insides.

Place the bottom of the English muffin on a plate and
lay the slice of cheese over it.

Lightly grease the inside of the egg ring with vegetable
shortening or oil, then set the egg ring on your nonstick
skillet. Let the skillet and ring get good and hot over
medium heat. Crack the egg into the egg ring and use a
fork or the tip of a knife to pierce the yolk. Sprinkle
the salt over the egg.

Here's the big secret that I learned from a family
friend, Oliver Alvarez, who works at McDonald's: Add
steam. Trapping steam around the egg while it cooks
helps it set quickly, and gives it a puffy, light
texture. To do this, pour a bit of water in the pan
around the outside of the egg ring and cover with a lid.
Let the egg cook for about three minutes until it's set.
Remove the pan from the heat, and gently lift the egg
ring to reveal your cooked, perfectly round egg.

Use a spatula to move the egg onto the cheese slice on
the muffin.

Add the Canadian bacon slice to the still-hot skillet
and cook it for one minute on each side. Slide the hot
bacon on top of the egg. Add the top half of the English
muffin to complete the sandwich, and enjoy it while it's
hot!

HOW DO I GET THE PERFECT ROUND EGG? Look for metal egg
rings with a little heft (instead of lightweight
silicone). The extra weight will help prevent the egg
white from seeping under the bottom. Make sure you let
the skillet and egg ring get hot before adding the egg.
The heat will quickly set the egg white, which helps
keep it in the egg ring.

If you don't want to use an egg ring, look around your
kitchen! Round cookie cutters (make sure they're heat-
resistant) and Mason jar lids can work just as well as
an egg ring. Whichever method you're using, be sure to
grease the egg ring generously (as well as the pan). If
you really want to experiment, you can also use a thick
onion ring slice as an egg ring but the egg may not
release from the onion.
