I love egg McMuffins at McDonald’s, except it’s always hit or miss with the egg – sometimes cooked through, sometimes not. And with any fast food, you never really know what is in your sandwich or who prepared it. So, I decided to make my own and wanted to share with you how to make the PERFECT EGG for your egg sandwich.
Ingredients:
- English Muffin (I use Oroweat extra crispy, white…I can’t stand whole wheat)
- 1 slice of cheese (I use Sargento very thin mild cheddar)
- 1 egg (cage free of course)
- 1-2 slices of deli ham (I use Boar’s Head Honey Glaze)
- Salt (optional)
- Green Pepper (optional)
Directions (HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT EGG):
- Grab a small bowl about 3 inches in diameter. I use a small ramekin. *Update: Spray the bowl with cooking spray (or rub coconut oil around bowl). This allows for really EASY clean-up (otherwise the egg sticks to the bowl).
- Scramble 1 egg using a fork or whisk (you could even add a little egg white for a bigger egg)
- Add a few cut up pieces of green pepper or spinach (optional)
- Lightly salt the scrambled egg.
- Put in the microwave for 40-45 seconds. DONE!
- Then you will just assemble your sandwich – Toast your muffin before you assemble, add cheese, ham, and egg!

Looks good- wondering if the egg comes out of that dish easily? I like eggs but I don't like scrubbing cooked on eggs.
Good questin Rhonda! The actual egg comes out perfectly, but as far as washing it…yes, you are right, it sticks to the bowl. I soak it in water right after I pull the egg out so it scrubs off easier. I use the coarse side of my sponge and it comes out fine, but I hate getting egg all in it…lol! I'm wondering if I spray it with Pam or butter if it wouldn't stick at all. I might try that.
Pam works great. I spray it before I whip the egg in my bowl every time. Slides right out. No mess. 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing this. I will be certainly trying this only with egg beaters instead and low-fat cheese because I can only have 27gms of fat a day.
