     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.
