We still had a few English muffins leftover after making the Smoked Salmon Benedict. So I started thinking of other recipes using English muffins when I thought of the Egg McMuffin. Why not make my own version of a McMuffin? I only had Virginia ham instead of the usual Canadian bacon. We also prefer Cheddar cheese instead of the usual American. The hardest part of this recipe was finding a "ring" for making the egg. You could certainly use the Teflon-coated rings made for cooking these eggs. However, since I didn't have any and didn't want to buy one, I just opened up both sides of a can and used it instead. If you go this route, you'll want to use the cans with identical tops and bottoms instead of the ones you can easily stack.

  9. We enjoyed it! :) I hate having unitaskers around, and we really don't make this enough to justify getting something else. Good thing a can with a bit of grease works just as well!
