Better Than McDonalds!



My husband came home (for a short break) after working over 50 hours in three days with less than 6 hours of sleep.  He was hungry and needless to say very tired.  So I made him one of his favorites; an egg muffin sandwich.  I make these quite a bit. I usually keep most of the ingredients in the house so I can just whip up a couple of these  puppies up.

Here are the stars of the show:

Eggs, butter, English muffins, cheese slices, and Canadian Bacon, eh!

First, melt a couple of tablespoons of butter in a frying pan.  Make sure it's one that's not completely round and looks like it's been dropped!

Next, crack a couple of eggs in the pan.

I like to take a knife and break the yokes.  This makes the yoke cook faster and the egg will be flat.

After they have cooked for a little bit, carefully separate the eggs and flip them over and try not to curse when you do this...


...because it never works quite right for me.  Not pretty!

Add the slices of Canadian bacon so they start to warm up on the egg.  Turn the heat down.

In the meantime, drop an English muffin in the toaster.

Butter them as soon as they pop out of the toaster.

Put a slice of cheese on top of the bacon, turn the heat off.

Cover for a few minutes and the cheese will melt.  It doesn't take much!

Plop the egg concoction on the buttered muffins,

They might not be as pretty as McDonalds, but I think they are better, at least that what my family says!
Anything for my hard working husband!

Two thumbs up!  Now get some sleep!
