Sunday Brunch: Egg McMuffins

I made these Egg McMuffins today after seeing the recipe on The Yummy Life.   I used pork sausage patties that I rolled out and cut myself so I could get them the right size. I cut them a little bigger than my the circumference of my ramekins knowing that they would shrink up as they cooked. When I cooked the sausage, I kept pressing down on them with my spatula to help keep them flat. It worked great. Next time, I will mix the pork and turkey sausage, then eventually, I will just use turkey.
  I also used 2% milk American cheese. All of my boys liked it. I ate one too with just cheese and egg.

I must say that Monica's recipe is right on...very close to the McDonald's Egg McMuffin only healthier. The egg part came out perfectly, and like others on her site suggested, I used a knife to break up the egg yolk a little bit. Monica's step by step photos are excellent. I urge you to check out her full recipe post if you want to try to make these mcmuffins. I can't wait to see how they turn out when you freeze them and then eat them later. That would be a quick morning breakfast that my boys could grab and go.

Here is Monica's recipe:
