Meal-on-the-Go Copycat Egg Muffin
I wanted to call this an Egg McMuffin because that was really the inspiration after all these year decades.
This is one of those recipes that you really don’t need because it’s simple enough that you can do on your own. Sometimes I know it’s just good to find some inspiration. We especially like inspiration that can come together quickly, is portable and is healthier than the norm.
Throughout the years we’ve had our share of Egg McMuffins. I can’t really tell you the last year I had one from Micky D’s because they are so easy to whip up at home, and we really don’t frequent their lines anyway. I resurrected the copycat Egg McMuffins after we started having Saturday morning soccer games a few years ago and I wanted a hearty breakfast meal on-the-go. I’ve even made them the night before for those really early mornings.
These copycat egg muffins are as healthy as your English muffin is. We always aim for a 100% whole wheat English muffin. And if you can get a sprouted English Muffin
Meal-on-the-Go Copycat Egg Muffin
Ingredients
- English muffins
- eggs one egg per person (I add a dash of tumeric and Cayenne pepper)
- 2 Tbs olive avocado, or coconut oil for cooking eggs
- cheese sliced
- optional protein of choice like Canadian bacon, ham, bacon, sausage
- optional spinach or other greens
Instructions
-
Toast English muffins.
-
While waiting for muffins, scramble eggs on a skillet with a little oil.
-
After toasting, place sliced cheese on heated muffins to melt.
-
Butter muffin (I don't but the Big M does), or use coconut oil if desired.
-
Top muffin with eggs, protein, greens, and/or onions.
I make mine using ramekins to make the eggs in the oven. It is easy and it fits on the english muffin perfectly. For the ones I make my husband to take to work I use sharp cheddar cheese, egg with bacon bits and some hot sauce. I freeze individually so I can grab one the night before and let it defrost for my husband to eat when he goes to work at 4:30.
Brilliant, Debra! What a great idea to try! Thanks for sharing.
Do you have a recipe for sourdough english muffins?
No. I don’t make them from scratch, but it’s on my “to try” list. 🙂
Awesome! I would LOVE a good recipe. 🙂
We love breakfast sandwiches at home! So much better then McDonalds and healthier! The photos are gorgeous and I love your options! I might have to make some this weekend with basketball games all day Saturday for the boys!
These are delicious at breakfast or anytime. Just sayin’. (I get to eat a bunch of the food in the photos. Yum!)
