Homemade Egg McMuffins

I love Egg McMuffins from McDonalds.  I usually get one every Saturday morning after my workout on the way home.  I was on Pintrest and found a link to Homemade Egg McMuffins and I absolutely had to try them.

I decided I would make them for my Sunday morning breakfast.  First, I sprayed 6 7" Ramekins with cooking spray and put 1 egg in each Ramekin.  I placed all 6 Ramekins on one cooking sheet and cooked them at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. (I forgot to take a picture of this step, but if you check out the original link about, there is another set of great step by step instructions with pictures at every step.)

While the eggs cooked, I prepped the rest of the sandwich.  I only made Canadian bacon sandwiches, but the link above also tells about making sausage sandwiches - so if you want sausage, check it out.  I took whole wheat English muffins and places a slice of Canadian bacon on one side of each muffin and a slice of American cheese on the other side of the muffin.  (Tip - next time I'm going to toast each muffin first.  I think that would make the sandwich better in the end.)

After the eggs were completely cooked, I ran a knife around the outside of each Ramekin and took the egg out with a mini spatula.  I added the egg and closed up the sandwiches.

I wrapped each sandwich in parchment paper and froze 4 of them.  When I want them, I can just put them, parchment paper and all, in the microwave and warm them up.  If you want to use these to feed a large crowd, you can make the sandwiches ahead of time, wrap them in aluminum foil, freeze them, and then reheat them all in the oven in large batches.

So my final verdict:  These sandwiches were good, but not as good as an Egg McMuffin, although I do think they're healthier.  I think toasting the muffin before assembling the sandwich would help.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!
