Egg McMuffins

Tonight we had the best egg sandwiches or Egg McMuffins as we call them. Egg McMuffin sounds so much better - good job marketing, McDonalds.

Why were the sandwiches so good? I used farm fresh eggs and homemade buns. It made all the difference. We've done them with English muffins and sandwiches rounds and they are good but the homemade buns put them over the top - the fresh flour really does make a difference. Havarti cheese and ham make it complete. My son normally will not eat eggs but he will eat egg sandwiches. Egg sandwiches might need to become a once a week meal here.

If you try this at home, just crack all your eggs into one bowl, add a little water and beat. Then pour the whole thing in a big skillet and cook like an omelet. Add cheese and ham at the end. When it's done, slide the whole giant egg onto a plate and cut into squares the size of your bread. This is much easier than trying to cook individual eggs unless you have a pan the right size. We used 8 eggs tonight - the eggs are great leftover too. If you aren't into the homemade buns yet, just use English muffins - it is too much bread for me so I usually make mine open-faced and just use half a muffin. I don't really know if the farm fresh eggs made them better. I mostly like the idea that I am eating eggs from a local farm. Please post if you try making egg sandwiches and how they turned out.

A note on the hamburger buns I tried a few days ago... they have taken on a life of their own. We now use them for any type of sandwiches instead of sliced bread. They just seem more appealing than the sliced bread. They are just a little more work but seem to worth the effort.
