Great Breakfast . . . After 10:30 AM

I have had a love/hate relationship with McDonalds. Until age 8, I adored the place. I dragged my parents there to enjoy playground equipment, Happy Meal toys and half of a hamburger and most of my fries.

After that, I lost my taste for it, to my parents' delight. When I lived in Taiwan for two years as a missionary, McDonalds was one of the few places I could get American food. I estimate that I consumed over a hundred Big Macs in a two year period and have only had one since I've returned to the U.S. (which has been almost 10 years, yikes).

I've always loved McDonald's breakfast, especially the Egg McMuffin. How many times have you felt like one and it's been past 10:30 AM? I've found that they're very easy to make. All you need is english muffins, cheese, canadian bacon and cheddar cheese. My good friend in Ohio taught me the secrets of mcmuffin manufacturing.

You pan fry the canadian bacon, scramble some eggs, toast the english muffin and put the cheese on top. You will be amazed. This weekend we tried them with homemade biscuits and actually liked the english muffin better.
