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.
