Egg McMuffin

A suitable replacement for the notorious fast food egg sandwich. I love mine with cheese, ham, tomatoes, and hot sauce.

I love McDonald’s breakfast, hell… I love all things breakfast. Unfortunately for me, I’m never hungry during the “breakfast hours” of my day… so I can go weeks without tasting a pancake or omelette.

I’ve been in the mood for a breakfast sandwich (or 2) lately, but since I’m never awake for McD’s breakfast… it’s up to me to make my own. Hell, I probably would make my own anyway, these things are easy to make and taste better than anything a 16 year old that doesn’t care about his job would give me.

Cooking Egg 572x381 Egg McMuffin

I don’t know where this thing came from, but there was one in my kitchen (apparently they are called egg rings).

I preheat the pan, chopped up some spinach, mixed the spinach with 2 beaten eggs and poured it into this bad boy. I cooked it over a low heat so the bottom wouldn’t burn while the middle solidified. Once it was relatively set, I extracted the egg from the ring and flipped it over to cook the top quick… excuse the mess, this was sandwich #2.

Once the egg was cooked, I assembled the sandwich which consisted of ham, cheese, tomatoes, and hot sauce. Voila, a relatively healthy egg sandwich.

Stay hungry my friends.

      Thanks and will do! I don’t usually hunt for vegan/vegetarian dishes… but I’m all for finding healthier alternatives and that lifestyle definitely fits the bill.
