If any members have egg mcmuffins for breakfast how do you get the egg circle or do you just put a fried egg on it or a smaller omelette.

Thanks

    I have made egg mcmuffins and did just fry the egg and tried to fit it on the English muffin. I did buy egg rings but found unless your pan is absolutely flat they don't work that well. I think the egg rings were less than $3 for two and I found them at Bed Bath and Beyond. I read somewhere that McDonald's started out using tuna cans with both ends cut out. That would work as well.

    Put the egg in a small bowl or even a measuring cup and microwave for 1-2 mins, perfect fit for a muffin.

    Yes. When I ate eggs this is what I did. Just butter or spray your bowl with cooking spray to avoid stuck on egg.

    A muffin top pan works great - just bake your eggs six at a time. 350° for 25 minutes.

    I have a tiny frying pan that perfectly forms a circular egg to fit on a sandwich. I found it as a cheap decorative item at Wal-Mart. The second time I used it on the stove, the plastic handle melted off. The pan, though, is aluminum and lasts. Before my mfp journey began, every breakfast was a circular egg on a wheat bread sandwich with a slice of Cure81 ham and a slice of cheese. That was way better than a McD Egg McMuffin.

    We have a Hamilton Beach egg sandwich maker.

    I'm not normally a fan of kitchen gadgets, but this little guy works great, cleans easily and doesn't take up much space. Even the kids love it.

    Now I'm hungry for an egg muffin. Might have one for lunch!

    I came across a marvellous tip for perfect poached eggs. Dip the whole egg in boiling water for a ten seconds before breaking it open. A perfect round without ragged edges.

    Well I thank you for saving me that wasted money as I've been eyeing those egg rings for the longest time now! That's so fascinating what you stated about McDonald's, I wonder if that's true? I'm definitely trying it!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

    I do once a week. But just the Mcmuffin and no hash browns.

    I make my own healthier version. A whole wheat English muffin, a slice of muenster cheese (not healthy, I know) and two eggs cooked in a burger patty ring. Close enough.

    Cheese isn't unhealthy, neither are white English muffins

    I buy them from McDonald's. An egg ring also works fine but I rarely make them at home. It's a reasonably macro balanced choice for when I'm on the run and I know I'll need breakfast.

    If you don't have an egg ring then just tilt a hot pan a bit and shape the egg with the corner of the spatula. This works very well unless you really want an absolutely perfect circle.

    I make them every morning. I just fry my eggs. Don't care if they're not perfectly round or don't fit perfect. Still tastes the same!

    I bought a very small pan that I can use to fry 1 egg, just the right size for the muffin!

    This...why does it have to be a perfect circle?

    I've seen that method used on cooking shows.

    Amazon sells an egg muffin maker. Does the muffin, egg, and Canadian bacon all at once. 25 bucks. P.S. use double fiber muffins.

    Egg mcmuffins have the yolk intact.
