I highly recommend you use egg rings for this recipe. The diameter of the rings is a perfect fit for the diameter of the English muffins.
I used liquid egg whites for this recipe as I almost always have some on hand but in a pinch, you can substitute for a single egg. A 1/4 cup of liquid egg whites is equivalent to 1 egg.
Recipe Variation
You can add the diced Canadian bacon directly to the liquid eggs during cooking instead of topping the cooked egg with the diced bacon.
