Muffin lasts forever: I'm sure the canning lid insert is doing you no favors health wise, but at a minimum it's another thing to wash. McDonald's just uses rings and contained steam. So, to duplicate their method, you can do everything you've already been doing and just leave out the sealing ring. Source: I'm a former McDonald's line cook. :-) So many people cook their bacon too hot! Thanks for pointing that out. Now I just need to get my mom to watch this video. McDonald's is a medium heat as well for bacon consistency.

I'm not a purist but the lid part of the mason jar top did make me wince. OTOH, mason jars are meant to take hot ingredients and then be sterilized in boiling water so the rubber and whatever-it-is finish on the inside of the top may be heat safe.

Yeah, lifelong Albertan other than a three year stint in Victoria. Definitely not a term we use here. My girlfriend grew up between Vancouver and Saskatchewan, she's never heard anyone in either place use it. I've heard a Vancouverite friend of mine call it streaky bacon, but his grandparents were about as English as one can get, and he went to Cambridge, so I'd tend to attribute it to those influences. In my experience, bacon as a disambiguation always meant pork belly, while loin bacon was "back bacon". Only time I ever saw back bacon growing up was my dad's english breakfasts or eggs benedict.

The cheese on the bottom is so that the sandwich travels well: a barrier against moisture making the bottom half soggy over time spent transporting the sandwich. This is used in other sandwiches that are to-go, most notably a Reuben which would literally fall apart. A to-go Reuben should have cheese on both slices with the sauerkraut AND 1000 Island dressing between equal portions of corned beef

When busy, like on a workday, I like to scramble an egg in a buttered 1cup pyrex and then microwave it. You have to pause and whisk a few times. Takes about 1 minute, then put the american cheese on and optionally microwave a little more or just let the heat from the egg melt it. Then onto an english muffin with bacon (if pre-cooked), or a sausage patty (which can be microwaved at the same time as the egg), or some deli ham. A related alternative is to tear up the ham and cheese and mix them into the egg and nuke the whole thing.

I make these breakfast sandwiches on the regular and getting some silicon rings is a good investment for making not just egg rounds but mini quiches, potato fritters,etc. I assemble them with bread, meat, egg, cheese as the cheese helps glue the otherwise slippery egg to the bread. I place the bread over the bacon or sausage similar to how you'd do a burger, and I wrap in foil at the end. The foil traps the heat so just about any cheese is going to melt just fine.

All my life I have been told to never use metal on non stick because it will scratch the surface which can then get into the food. Here you're using metal tongs, a fork and sliding the foil around in the pan. Does this just come down to the quality of the non stick? Or is it not as big of a deal as I thought? Cheers!

McDonald’s puts the cheese on the muffin not just for efficiency. The cheese melts onto the muffin and helps hold the sandwich together. Either way you assemble it, you have hot ingredients next to the cheese and melting it. I like the canning lid idea. Makes it easier to release the egg from the mold. A tablespoon of mayo takes it to the next level.

Muffin lasts forever: The only concern I have with the masjon jar hack is that the rubber might not be rated for high direct heat. It could possibly be off gassing some chemicals into your food; aka you are eating trace amounts of rubber. Maybe this is a good avenue to make a custom product and selling it that just uses 100% food grade steel instead ? Or just the major jar sides without the lid? Or even a silicone (food grade high heat) egg mould

Orange egg yolks are typically a sign of better tasting eggs, just not in America where the orange yolk is the result of artificial intervention for aesthetics like the marigolds you mentioned. If you have a naturally grazing chicken where the chicken is eating both plants and insects (chickens are omnivorous) the eggs will more often than not taste better and their natural diet usually results in orange yolks.

This looks easier than the method I use. I do everything pretty much the same, except I scramble the eggs and pour it into a pan, then put some cheddar cheese in the middle and fold it into a muffin-sized pseudo-omelette. Everything else is almost identical, from the egg on the bottom, cheese in the middle, bacon on top, toasting the muffins in bacon grease, and wrapping it in foil for a few minutes. I also put BBQ sauce on at least one of the muffin halves though too, because it gives that extra bit of flavor.

Still peas, just taste better. *American cheese was invented in Switzerland. Maybe Kenji gets to that after I made this comment at 10:07

muffins last forever - I make a version of this quite often. I came up with a method that is fast with minimal mess. I toast my muffins with the bagel setting, only inside toasted. I use deli ham sliced thin and crisped in my air fryer with aluminum foil underneath. The egg is cooked in the microwave in a silicone mold, yolk broken, salt pepper. I cook all these at the same time. They all take about 2 min. Then I build everything while each component is still hot which melts the cheese. The only thing that needs washing is the silicone mold which is quick and easy.

When I moved out of my college dorm into my first house/job, I used to do this monthly. I'd make about 24 in one sitting, with sheet pan eggs (literally a full pan) and the rest the same as above, and do exactly what you're saying. Only difference is I froze them in foil and baked em each morning in the oven. Was a nice routine to wake up, preheat the oven and throw it in right away, and come back 25 mins later to a perfectly warm mcmuffin. Highly recommend! Probably even easier with smaller air friers and such these days.

use to love egg mcmuffins... but i find their minimum wage hood slaves cannot crack an egg without putting half the egg shell into it... Immediate turn off when i bite into them and get a crunch..so i never order them anymore. Does your nail polish bring out your eyes? :)

Next time you get one of these from McDs ask for a packet of hot salsa. Easily 100% better with the salsa.

muffin lasts forever: I'm sure the lids can handle the heat just fine. They are often used for canning so in their normal use case they are in contact with food and heat. The amount of potential micro plastics you're ingesting from them is probably not much more than you would breathe in your normal morning commute in heavy traffic.

muffin lasts forever -- I won't comment on the safety of mason jar lids but I will say that you're missing an important ingredient! A bit of GradeA maple syrup soaked into the muffin adds so much and really rounds out the breafkast-ness of the sandwich. Please do more breakfast sandwiches. I currently make one with basil pesto, egg, and smoked soft gouda on a toasted/steamed ciabatta roll that blows people away.

Muffin lasts forever! Surely those lids are fine with heat if you're meant to preserve stuff in them by "canning" right?

Good point on the knife to split (and ex-McD employee here from 82 to 85). I still make these roughly once or twice a month

I use a brulee torch to melt the cheese on one bun and put the bacon on the other, and add the egg on top of the bacon

McDonald’s is not known for their fine food, but to this day I love their breakfast sandwiches…. I’ve had 1000s of egg McMuffins in my life, as a child, and before work as an adult. But recently to save money, I order a sausage and cheese McMuffin and a coffee, and bring in a boiled peeled egg to eat together., 1/2 price win😂

It's definitely a real egg from McDs. I got one where the cook left the entire eggshell in the sandwich so that was a great bite.

I love american cheese for things like breakfast sandwiches and grilled cheese sandwiches! I usually get it from the deli though, instead of the individually wrapped singles, so it tastes much better (though I wouldn't turn my nose up at the other kind if that was what was available).

Yum! I would only add some mayo. Kewpie, or Duke’s; just because McDonald’s didn’t bother is no reason not to turn it up to 11. Also- lovely medium yolk, perfect for a sandwich. Every McD I’ve been to has overcooked my McMuffin round egg.

It might not make a difference at the temp you're working with but is the rubber in the canning lid going to be a problem?

Wrap these in wax or parchment paper before the foil and they freeze well. Remove foil then 90 seconds in the microwave on high and you're in business.

Muffin lasts forever but you butchered the whole Canadian bacon thing. Peameal is different (more than just cornmeal) and we call your “American” bacon just bacon up here

I'm curious about fork-splitting the english muffin then using the chef's press or something to increase pan contact. Might get best of both worlds. Might compress the muffin tho. Seems worth trying next time I make a muffin sandwich.
