Make your own Egg McMuffins

I love to healthify (yup, I made up a word) my favorite foods, like the Egg McMuffin. Delicious, but not terribly nutritious. For my homemade Egg Muffins, I opted for a whole wheat English muffin and reduced-fat cheddar cheese - a bit healthier and simply delish.

Here's a list of ingredients that you will need: cooking spray, eggs, shredded cheese, thin ham slices, and English muffins.


Let's begin! Spray a small, shallow, microwaveable container with cooking spray. Scramble an egg, and pour into prepared container.


Microwave the egg for 30-40 seconds, depending the strength of your microwave. Flip, and cook for 5-10 seconds more.



Slightly toast the English muffin halves. After that, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cheese onto one English muffin half.


Top the cheese with a cooked egg.


On top of the egg, place 1-2 slices of ham.


Sprinkle with another tablespoon of cheese onto the ham. Once the cheese melts, it holds the sandwich together.


Top with the other half of the English muffin.


These delicious breakfast sandwiches are amazing when they are fresh, but the good news is that they freeze well too! Here's how: tear off a piece of a waxed paper, about the size of a 12x12 square. Place Egg Muffin in the middle. Match up the ends of the waxed paper. Fold down the ends around the centered Egg Muffin, until the fold is snug against the sandwich.


Flip the sandwich over, and fold in ends, like you are wrapping a present. Secure with a piece of tape.


Presto! Homemade Egg Muffins.


To eat: remove from waxed paper. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, until cheese has melted. Enjoy the healthified yumminess!
