Equipment

Wide mouth metal mason jar lid or 2-3 inch metal band

Ingredients

2 tbsp salted butter divided
3 english muffins
6 slices of canadian bacon
3 large eggs
½ cup water plus more as needed
3 slices american cheese
salt and pepper

Instructions

Melt 1 Tablespoon butter in a medium sized skillet.
Fry canadian bacon on each side for 30 seconds-1 minute or until slightly golden. Take out of the skillet and set aside.
Place the Mason jar lid upside down in a heated skillet. Spray the inside of the band with cooking spray.
Before cooking the egg, get your supplies out: a fork, glass of water, a pan lid, salt and pepper, a spatula and a paper towel.
Set the temperature under the pan to medium or medium low.
Crack an egg into the lid/band. Poke the yolk a few times with a fork.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Pour enough water into the pan to come up about a third of the way up the outside side of the band. Immediately cover pan with a lid.
Cook for 1-2 minutes or until your egg is cooked the way you like it. (I like to cook it until there is no more jiggle present)
Take eggs out of the pan and pour out the water. Using the spatula, turn the lid upside down and remove the lid from the cooked egg.
Set the egg aside onto a plate.
Dry the inside of the pan quickly with the paper towel.
Put 1 Tablespoon of butter into the frying pan and fry the 2 halves of the English muffin or bread for about half a minute on one side or until golden brown.
To assemble McMuffin, place a slice of cheese on top of the bottom half of the english muffin. Follow with the egg, 2 slices of canadian bacon, and the top half of the english muffin. (It should go muffin, cheese, egg, canadian bacon, muffin).
Enjoy your homemade Egg McMuffin!

Notes

Storage:

Store: Cool completely, wrap individually, and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
To Freeze: You can freeze the sandwiches individually and pull them out as needed. Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic and put them in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
To Reheat: Wrap the sandwich in paper towels and place them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.

Tips:

Make sure the skillet is warm before adding the egg or it will run out from under the lid. You can also use both parts of a mason jar lid (the circular insert and the band) to make a little nest for the egg to cook in).
