Making the McDonald's Egg McMuffin At Home | But Better

I know I give it a bad rap but this is McDonald's breakfast, this is serious and we won't miss it, so today we are going to make the McDonald's egg

mcmuffin

, this has to be one of the most physically simplified breakfast sandwiches possible on the market so far. It has a huge amount of influence, as always, it's always the menu items that have so much unnecessary influence, you know, if you don't know the

mcmuffin

, I'd be surprised if you didn't, but it's basically toasted English muffins, usually bad American cheese. . ham and then this egg-like cylinder that is horribly overcooked, it's basically a hockey puck, so we're going to recreate it in the best way possible while keeping that original look and we're going to win, so with all that said, let's do this, shall we? agreement?

Getting back to it, I said this earlier the other day, I heard someone say Macdonald's again, stop, can I get an egg mcmuffin? I noticed it last time, but they're really good with speed here, I mean, obviously, that's what they're known for, thank you. Jesus, you see it's like him from the beginning, it's like a bagel, okay, we've got the bag, there's a little nostalgia, oh my God, what's that smell? Oh, you know, the funny thing is that I still haven't eaten anything today and so on. The thought of having food around me started to make my mouth water and I was getting hungry when I smelled all the saliva retracting into my body it was like you need this for something else someone come smell this yeah that stinks , that is the most precise.

What I've ever heard is that we have Canadian bacon, it looks good, American cheese, this egg has been here for so long, you can see it as a dark, dark greenish brown color, that's because the egg has been cooked for too long and then It was cooked in the microwave. It's just boring. I mean, what do you want me to tell you? It just has to be the most physically boring option for breakfast possible. It is easy. I understand. Many people go on the road and say: "Me." I'm really hungry, I just grab a quick one, but you'll never think about it again.

I want to do something that you will think about forever. Okay, if we're going to make a mcmuffin, we'll probably want to make our own muffin or, well, English muffin. In this case, which aren't actually called English muffins in England, you start with two cups or 480 milliliters of whole milk (about 90 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit) and then you'll add two and a half teaspoons or eight grams of instant yeast. Three and a half tablespoons or 45 grams of granulated sugar, beat everything until dissolved and let it sit for about five minutes or until foamy. Now prepare yourself with a mixer and to the bowl you will add four and a third cups. or 675 grams of bread flour and two teaspoons or eight grams of fine sea salt, begin mixing that with the dough hook and then once incorporated, add the sweetened yeast milk followed by a quarter cup or 56 grams of very slightly melted butter.

Make sure this butter is barely melted, if it's over 100 degrees it will kill your yeast and dad will never forgive you. Oh and also a whole egg, now continue mixing it until it forms a nice soft dough, then lightly grease a bowl if necessary. Give your dough a couple of pats and folds to help give it some extra strength, then shape it into a bulb, place it in the grease pan, cover it with plastic wrap, give it a real gentleman's name, and let it rise. room temperature for about an hour or until doubled and chunky, now take your thick man and squeeze all the air out of him, then divide the dough into about 15 pieces.

You can be more precise by weighing the entire dough in grams and dividing it by 15. There you have it, you have your weight per piece. now once you have all the pieces, form each and every one of them into balls, place the nice round balls in a dough proof box or on a baking sheet, either of which should be sprinkled with corn flour, Cover with lid and let rest for 10 minutes. Now all you have to do is take a ball and sprinkle the top and bottom with corn flour, flatten them into a disk about three and a half inches wide and half an inch thick, and then place them on a griddle or skillet. cast iron over medium-low heat.

Heat them up and let them cook for three to five minutes then turn them over and let them cook for another three to five minutes or until they're golden brown and now they're probably not baked through yet so once that's done place them on a small tray and then in an oven that has been preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about seven to ten more minutes or until cooked through, then simply repeat with all your English muffins. I mean, look at these absolute gentlemen, wait, they actually look like English muffins, yes, because we gave them our love and Now let them cool completely on a rack and that's it.

Now let's talk, Pam, I'm sure you can go buy some Canadian bacon. It is already prepared for you. Instead, I bought a whole smoked ham. I do this so I can cut it to thickness. From my desires, I ended up with half an inch thick per slice, but wait a minute, Josh, what's with the circular shape? You're going to use the circle cookie cutter the same size as your English muffins and then punch out the perfect sized thick round. Cut the ham now, all you are going to do is heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add about three tablespoons of vegetable oil and once the oil is hot, add the ham in batches to prevent it from overcrowding and let it brown. for about two minutes, you can also use something to thicken it, like the chef's press, which I love, then flip and brown for another two or three minutes.

Now add a small bunch of fresh thyme, three tablespoons or 42 grams of unsalted butter and baste your ham for about 25 seconds now place the hot ham on a small tray cover it with the butter of the time and repeat with the rest now before

making

the coveted egg, let's make a quick spicy mayonnaise, which I know isn't traditional, stop complaining, the sandwich needs one, okay? now take a small bowl and add half a cup or 112 grams of mayonnaise a quarter of a cup or 60 grams of fresh cream one tablespoon or eight grams of smoked paprika one tablespoon or nine grams of garlic powder two and a half tablespoons or 37 grams of sriracha and two teaspoons or seven grams of Worcestershire sauce, amazing, now mix it up and that's your spicy mayonnaise, wow, it's so easy Josh, yeah, I know you're welcome.

Last but not least, we have to fix this frankly depressing so-called egg in the method. non-stick pan heat it over medium heat and add enough unsalted butter to cover the bottom of the pan about a tablespoon and a half or 20 grams as soon as it melts and bubbles place a circular mold that has been lightly greased and is the same diameter as your English muffins in the center of your pan, carefully crack an egg into that pan, season the top with salt and let it cook for about 30 seconds or until the white on the bottom starts to set nicely, then add three tablespoons or 45 milliliters. of water around the pan to bring to a boil, then immediately cover with foil or a lid and let it steam for about 45 seconds or until the egg is cooked through but the yolk is still running.

Now immediately remove the egg from the pan and repeat. with however many eggs you need, I made five sandwiches, so I made five eggs, that's the best math I've done this year, okay, time to assemble first, grab an English muffin fork, divide it or cut it accordingly , give it a good toast in a toaster. I like mine pretty toasted, so before anyone says, oh my gosh, look, I think it's

better

with a white board, which is just my taste anyway, add a good dollop of optional spicy mayonnaise and spread it over a layer followed by a slice of aged cheddar cheese.

I like to brush the cheese with my kitchen torch so it melts a little, then add your beautiful circle of liquid egg, I guess circulate the sauce, the other half of the bread, spread it around a layer, add your time, cut ham thick dipped in butter and finally crown your breakfast. king now the first look at the sandwich says lord have mercy I'm about to burst more importantly I think we should see the inside of this I mean come on look at this thing don't play with me now let's move on and let's try the flavor. to decide a winner although I think we have this one in the bag I hope well, well, first of all, we already won because it has a juicy yolk, okay, that's the only way and if you don't like runny yolks, that's okay.

It's okay to be wrong mommy I have two things to say: we won and second, we won, what do I say? The texture of the English muffin is obviously

better

. The freshly made taste is pleasant. It doesn't have that weird taste like the one from the refrigerator. It has real cheese. this and you can change what kind of cheese you could make, smoked gouda, which would be quite gouda, it's actually pronounced cauda and all the Dutch people watching this are probably saying, "You just said, let's get a taste tester here, so today have". vikram hey, we have the smelliest guy in the game.

I cut the other one in half so you don't know, although I think you'll immediately be number one. Sorry, sorry, oh my god vikram, you missed everything, don't eat. all Jesus and number two mom is that mom yours is uh this is the one I think it's the yolk that gives it away well the sauce is great this is really just you saying grape right now I wish I had said great okay, normally No I'm a fan of runny egg but this is just horrible, like garbage, smoked ham sauce, the cheese is very good, all we have to say is the McDonald's outbreak.

You better want to know what else is full of runny, drippy goodness and jaw-dropping stuff, okay guys and that's it, so we made our egg mcmuffin. I keep wanting to say english muffin I don't know why I want to say there's an english muffin in there josh so the point is this was really easy to make it really wasn't that hard to make it better obviously

making

your own english muffins is big deal, you can make them and use them for anything, maybe make eggs benedict which would be a better option in my opinion, but that's literally it.

What is this? This is like a lazy Benedict only without the hollandaise sauce, which, by the way, you can make in a blender. The point is that you should do it like I always say, but with all that being said, if you enjoyed this video or learned anything. leave a like subscribe and see you next time
