Egg Mcmuffin

Ingredients

• 1 tsp unsalted butter
• 1 each English muffin
• 1 slice Canadian bacon
• 1 large egg
• 0.125 tsp salt
• 0.125 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp water
• 1 slice American cheese

Instructions

1. Melt the unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
2. Split the English muffin and toast the cut sides in the skillet until golden, 2–3 minutes; push the halves to the side and use the melted fat to lightly grease a 3.5-inch egg ring.
3. Sear the Canadian bacon in the skillet until lightly browned and heated through, 30–60 seconds per side; place it on the toasted bottom half.
4. Set the greased ring in the skillet and crack in the egg; season with the salt and black pepper. Pour the water into the skillet outside the ring, cover, and cook until the white is set and the yolk is just firm, 2.5–4 minutes; lift off the ring.
5. Lay the American cheese on the bottom half, add the warmed meat and the cooked round, cap with the top half, and rest 1 minute off heat so the cheese softens; serve hot.
