Got up just a touch earlier than I wanted and had a craving for a corporate breakfast. I grabbed some dough out of the fridge and shaped it into a ball and dusted it with cornmeal before heating a cast iron pan to 400°f and made myself a fresh English muffin.

Cost per person: 30¢ with 15.6¢ of that being the slice of individually wrapped American cheese food product. A real official branded McMuffin wouldn’t use a whole slice. Those things are ridiculously profitable.

    Mc implies substandard and sugar/high salt.

    this looks none of that. this is a superior food product and shouldn’t be associated with Mc anything.

    this is an Egg Muffin.

    We have a few silicon circle type things that cook the egg for the size you want (two sizes sort of like a cone you can flip over). Very convenient for breakfast sandwiches. I recall my dad using the outside of mason jar lids for sizing and burning his fingers a lot way back when.

      I have used canning lids and I have purpose built 4 inch rings too. But those are another thing to clean.

        I highly recommend checking out the silicon ones if you enjoy the egg sandwiches (assuming size is English muffin), mine have an arm that makes them easier to deal with. Like a metal arm with a silicon end that makes it simple to work with while hot.

        Cleaning is quite simple with that material which is a good bit to my needs … Bit lazy for the cleanup is all.
