      Title: Copycat Mcdonald's Egg Mcmuffin
 Categories: Breads, Pork, Cheese, Eggs
      Yield: 1 servings
 
      1    English muffin; split open
      1 tb Butter
      1 sl American cheese
      1 lg Egg
        pn Salt
    1/4 c  Water
      1 sl Canadian bacon
 
  Toast both halves of the English muffin until they're
  golden brown. Spread the butter over the insides.
  
  Place the bottom of the English muffin on a plate and
  lay the slice of cheese over it.
  
  Lightly grease the inside of the egg ring with vegetable
  shortening or oil, then set the egg ring on your nonstick
  skillet. Let the skillet and ring get good and hot over
  medium heat. Crack the egg into the egg ring and use a
  fork or the tip of a knife to pierce the yolk. Sprinkle
  the salt over the egg.
  
  Here's the big secret that I learned from a family
  friend, Oliver Alvarez, who works at McDonald's: Add
  steam. Trapping steam around the egg while it cooks
  helps it set quickly, and gives it a puffy, light
  texture. To do this, pour a bit of water in the pan
  around the outside of the egg ring and cover with a lid.
  Let the egg cook for about three minutes until it's set.
  Remove the pan from the heat, and gently lift the egg
  ring to reveal your cooked, perfectly round egg.
  
  Use a spatula to move the egg onto the cheese slice on
  the muffin.
  
  Add the Canadian bacon slice to the still-hot skillet
  and cook it for one minute on each side. Slide the hot
  bacon on top of the egg. Add the top half of the English
  muffin to complete the sandwich, and enjoy it while it's
  hot!
  
  HOW DO I GET THE PERFECT ROUND EGG? Look for metal egg
  rings with a little heft (instead of lightweight
  silicone). The extra weight will help prevent the egg
  white from seeping under the bottom. Make sure you let
  the skillet and egg ring get hot before adding the egg.
  The heat will quickly set the egg white, which helps
  keep it in the egg ring.
  
  If you don't want to use an egg ring, look around your
  kitchen! Round cookie cutters (make sure they're heat-
  resistant) and Mason jar lids can work just as well as
  an egg ring. Whichever method you're using, be sure to
  grease the egg ring generously (as well as the pan). If
  you really want to experiment, you can also use a thick
  onion ring slice as an egg ring but the egg may not
  release from the onion.
