    copycat mcdonald's egg mcmuffin

    If you like Egg McMuffins from McDonald's, then this copycat recipe is for you. A couple of simple ingredients you probably already have on hand and an egg ring.

    eggs in egg rings

    If you don't already own an egg ring I suggest you get one. They are pretty cheap and don't take up a lot of room. Just make sure you 3.5 inches in diameter as that's the same size as English Muffins.

    egg and canadian bacon on griddle

    You might be thinking that it's a waste of money buying an egg ring just to make these McMuffins but you can also use them to make Eggs Benedict, Hamburger Patties, Poached Eggs, Mini Pancakes or even Omelets.

    These Egg McMuffins were so easy to make that next time I am going to substitute the Canadian bacon for a sausage pattie and make a Sausage McMuffin with Egg.

    💭 Recipe Tip

    If you don't feel like buying an egg ring, you can use the lid from a mason jar. The wide mouth mason jar will be the closest in diameter to the size of the English muffin.

    ⭐ Copycat Rating

    Since the goal of a Copycat Recipe is for it to taste exactly like the original, it's only natural to rate this recipe against the original. This Copycat recipe rates a solid 9 out of 10 in my opinion.

    📋 What Ingredients do I need

    You will need the following ingredients to make this Copycat Egg McMuffin recipe from McDonald's (see recipe card for quantities): Egg, English Muffin, Unsalted Butter, American Cheese and Canadian Bacon.

    🥣 How to make McDonald's Egg McMuffin

    Preheat a pan, skillet or griddle on medium-low heat for a couple of minutes.
    Spray the inside of the egg ring with non-stick spray. Place the egg ring on the pan.
    Crack the egg and pour it into the egg ring. Poke the yolk with a knife so it flows.
    Meanwhile, toast your English muffin. Butter both toasted halves of the English muffin liberally with butter.
    Put a slice of American Cheese on the bottom half.
    Carefully remove the ring (it will be hot!), leaving the egg on the griddle. Carefully flip the egg over. Lay one slice of Canadian bacon on the pan. Cook the egg 45−60 seconds after turning.
    After about 30 seconds, flip the Canadian bacon. Remove the egg from the pan placing it on the bottom half (cheesed half) of the English muffin.
    Put the Canadian bacon on top of the cooked egg, and cover with the top of the toasted English muffin.
