This is a breakfast sandwich recipe is a copycat version of the McDonald’s Egg McMuffin, but so much better – not to mention cheaper!
The four ingredients are easy to assemble (and make- all you need is a microwave.) The flavor is great, and variations are easy to come by. Try it with jalapeños or green olives for an extra flavor boost!
The only ingredients that need to be cooked are the bacon and egg. To save myself extra time in the mornings I keep cooked bacon ready in my fridge, so that ingredient is ready to go.
Tip: To save time cook a whole package of bacon at once. Keep the extras in the fridge to reheat as needed. It’s fast, easy, saves time, and helps eliminate some of the excess grease.
Cook the egg by placing it in a coffee mug with a little bit of water and microwaving for 1 to 1.5 minutes to cook. You don’t want the yolk completely solid when it’s done, as you will be quickly microwaving all the ingredients together once assembled. If you the egg is microwaved for too long it could become rubbery and tasteless.
Assemble all your ingredients, pop in the microwave for no more than 30 seconds and you have yourself a delicious breakfast sandwich that you can eat on the run!
