7 point breakfast--Homemade Creation of a McDonald's Classic
I recently discovered that I like McDonald's Egg McMuffins. I decided it would be easier to make them at home. After experimenting, I was able to slash a whole PointsPlus point off of the original. Hope you enjoy!
What's Needed:
1 egg
1 slice Canadian bacon (pre-cooked)
dash of salt and pepper
shredded cheddar cheese (just enough to sprinkle over the top)
1 whole wheat English Muffin
1. Toast English Muffin--I usually do mine for 4-5 minutes so it's nice and crispy.
2. Put egg, salt, and pepper into a bowl. Whisk together.
3. Add egg to skillet pre-heated. Leave it alone until it looks like this. Takes about 2 minutes.
4. Flip egg. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Take off of the skillet.
5. Add Canadian bacon to skillet. Brown on both sides (about 1-2 minutes--just to heat/brown it).
6. Cut egg in half. Then fold in half.
7. To assemble:
*Place 1/2 the egg on the bottom of the muffin. Sprinkle a bit of cheese.
*Add Canadian bacon then the other half of the egg. Sprinkle a bit of cheese
*Top with other half of the muffin. Enjoy!
MY Grade: A+ (This, plus some coffee, keeps me full until lunch, and I normally eat early in the morning.)
PointsPlus: 7
Inspired by: McDonald's Original Egg McMuffin (8 PointsPlus)
