TIPS

I used a Thomas’ English Muffin because I love them and they happen to be what I had on hand…. but … honestly.. store brand works better for these sandwiches… they tend to be doughier and thicker… more like what you get at McDonald’s.

I also toasted mine… and I toasted it a bit too much.. I like crunch… to get it just like “that place”…. Slice it and give it a quick toast just before the eggs are done…

I use a non-stick muffin tin for best results… it’s the easiest to get the eggs out.

Be inventive.. use Canadian bacon slices, thin-sliced deli ham.. sausage slice, bacon.. or plain… each person can have what they want Canadian bacon.. give them a quick nuke in the microwave on a plate… just to warm them…

Use any type of cheese you prefer… sliced cheddar cheese is especially yummy.

That brings me to the last tip.. the wonderful thing about making your own.. is you can make whatever flavors you like… if your partial to a special sausage or turkey bacon.. you can use it.

Try this.. you’ll love it!
