Egg Muffin

Layer some cheese, a griddle fried egg, and some ham between some toasted English muffins to make your own Egg McMuffin.

We still had a few English muffins leftover after making the Smoked Salmon Benedict. So I started thinking of other recipes using English muffins when I thought of the Egg McMuffin. Why not make my own version of a McMuffin? I only had Virginia ham instead of the usual Canadian bacon. We also prefer Cheddar cheese instead of the usual American. The hardest part of this recipe was finding a "ring" for making the egg. You could certainly use the Teflon-coated rings made for cooking these eggs. However, since I didn't have any and didn't want to buy one, I just opened up both sides of a can and used it instead. If you go this route, you'll want to use the cans with identical tops and bottoms instead of the ones you can easily stack.
