The classic Egg McMuffin with a whole green chile nestled on top of the melted cheese.
Ingredients
  • 1 English muffin
  • 1 egg
  • 1 slice Canadian bacon
  • 1 slice American cheese
  • 1 whole green chile, peeled, seeded, split open
  • 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
  1. Split open the English muffin and lightly toast in toaster.
  2. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, in a teaspoon of butter brown the Canadian bacon on both sides for about 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. While the Canadian bacon is cooking, spread softened butter on both halves of the English muffin.
  4. Place the 1 slice of Canadian bacon on the English muffin bottom.
  5. Add about a tablespoon of butter to the same skillet where you cooked the bacon. (Or, if using single egg nonstick skillet, melt a pat butter or spray with butter flavored cooking spray.)
  6. Place the quart-sized canning lid screw side up (or you can use an egg ring) into the skillet. (Not needed for single egg skillet.)
  7. Spray the canning lid with non-stick spray. Crack an egg into the ring or single egg skillet.
  8. Break the yolk with a fork and lightly sprinkle with salt & pepper. Pour about 1 tbsp of water into the skillet, and place a lid on top. (For the single egg skillet, I placed a small saucepan on top to act as a lid.)
  9. Cook until the egg is set, about two minutes.
  10. Gently remove the egg and place on Canadian bacon.
  11. Top with a slice of American cheese, the green chile, and the top of the English muffin.
  12. Microwave for 30 seconds to melt cheese, then serve & enjoy!
