McDonald’s Copy: Bacon and Egg McMuffin

Guilty Pleasure: Bacon and Egg McMuffin

Food Prep Tip: Batch cook these, wrap in baking paper and cling wrap, then freeze. Then remove a frozen McMuffin from the freezer the night before needed to defrost in the fridge. You can then heat these (remove from cling film and heat in the baking paper) in a toasted sandwich machine for a quick and easy breakfast or lunch.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Streaky Bacon strips
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 gluten free English Muffin, split in half
  • 1 processed Cheddar Cheese slice
  • Butter, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Add the olive oil to a pan and heat over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the bacon to the pan and cook. Once half way cooked, flip your bacon.
  3. Put your english muffin into the toaster and turn on.
  4. Push your bacon to the side of the pan once cooked. Crack your egg and add your egg to the pan. Use an egg ring if you’re after the classic McDonald’s shape.
  5. Flip the egg once half cooked, and add the cheese slice on top.
  6. Butter your toasted english muffin, add your bacon onto the bottom half, and your egg & cheese on top. Sprinkle with pepper, and add the top of your muffin.
  7. Serve immediately; or if batch cooking: cool, wrap in baking paper, and then cling film before freezing.
