Homemade Egg McMuffin Sandwiches
We tried out these homemade Egg McMuffin Sandwiches last night for dinner, and they were so much like McDonald’s but even better because I knew exactly what was going into them! Even though none of the items were on sale (and I paid way too much for them ~ yikes!), I still saved a bundle over heading through the drive thru.
Here’s the ingredients we grabbed:
- English Muffins
- Canadian Bacon
- American Cheese
- Eggs
The BEST thing about this recipe is that you can easily change up the flavors with different meats or cheeses! And these cook up quick for a quick weeknight brinner too.
Along that same line, by making these at home though you get to control what goes into your sandwich. You could easily substitute the cheese for Swiss or Cheddar to skip processed cheese, and you know exactly what’s going into your frying pan. I followed these directions exactly, used a mason jar lid ring to make the eggs like they recommended, and my husband agreed that they tasted just like the real thing.
While it’s not the most exciting meal out there, this was an easy way to feed our bunch before we all headed out to different activities, and helped us skip a trip through the drive thru. I’d love to hear if you’ve made other restaurant recipes at home and they’ve worked out ~ one of the biggest way to pinch pennies is definitely by just eating at home!
Hi! When there is a super-sale on the aforementioned items, I make a huge pile of these. Wrap each individual serving in a paper towel and stuff the pile into a zip-bag. Place in the freezer. On crazy (lazy?) mornings, the boys microwave their frozen “McMuffin” for 1-2 minutes, still wrapped in paper towel. Flip halfway through. Viola! A hot, hearty, fast breakfast/high pro snack. Happy kids. Happy Momma.
Great tip Julie – I’m trying that when it all goes on sale!
