“The make-ahead-made-by-mom-egg-McMuffin”
My kids nicknamed this breakfast the McMum. Although, there really is nothing original about this recipe (if you even want to call it that) since pretty much everyone has seen it (or pinned it!) I thought it was worth mentioning that this is a really great make-ahead breakfast for busy weekday mornings. Make double or triple what you would normally make for your family and you have breakfast for the next few mornings (or if you have teenagers like I do -an after school snack!).
HOW TO: Lightly oil a muffin tin. Then, similar to lining each hole with a paper liner when baking muffins, line each hole with a piece of ham cappicole or mortadella instead (you can also try other cold cuts/lunch meets like turkey or salami). Crack an egg right inside each one. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on top (or other spices like paprika or oregano) and bake in a 350°F degree oven until cooked through and firm (about 20 minutes).
Once they have cooled, place them in a Tupperware or like I do, on a plate with clear plastic wrap (if the kids can easily see it they will eat it). To re-heat simply place in the microwave for no more than 10 to 15 seconds and serve on a (whole wheat) english muffin with cheese.
Believe it or not, I did not know this little “recipe”! Looks great and easy, so I will try!
