Who needs McDonalds when you can make your own delicious 4 ingredient Egg McMuffin yourself?! These are a blast to put together and look so cute on a plate. My kids loved this little breakfast in a cup.
I LOVE drizzling some good hot sauce over mine, definitely give it a try if you like things spicy 🙂 Have a beautiful Thursday, see you all soon!
Here’s the lowdown….press your english muffin inside Texas Size Muffin cups, line inside with bacon, sprinkle inside with cheese, break an egg inside, season with salt and pepper, bake and woo hoo you are done!! Mmmm!

Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
Sorry! I didn’t realise you were using muffins. They look like portabella mushrooms.
Looks delicious! I have never heard of “ready-cooked bacon”! I will probably just put a alice of streaky bacon in.It will cook very quickly.
I’m in the UK, where do I get a Texas size muffin tin from. commercial or domestic will do.

How well do these store and reheat? Fridge or freezer?
What a cute idea!!! Can’t wait to try these!!
Recipe looks good and I am looking forward to trying. Just one hopefully helpful comment for you; Egg McMuffin is a registered trademark and you would be safer from litigation by dropping the “Mc”
Thank you so much, this is a fabulous recipe!!! In case anyone is wondering: I used uncooked bacon, and it turned out great. My hubby and I like our bacon cooked but still wiggly, so if that’s your thing, you don’t have to worry about the fully cooked bacon. 🙂
Wow. These look great, I can’t wait to try them. Do you think they will freeze well?
It’s actually a cool and helpful piece of info. I’m satisfied that you shared this useful information with us. Please keep us informed like this. Thank you for sharing.
I love your utensils! Could you tell me where you found them pretty please?!?
Nice to be visiting your website again, it has been weeks for me. Well this is the post that I ve been loking for so long. As a roofer I would say this is very informative post and I like your article. Regards, excellent share.
per fortuna che la Cristina è una mia amica…!!!
Great, genius idea! I can’t wait to make this for my husband. He will absolutely love this!
You can actually also make them by just using and english muffin or bread on the very bottom and putting the bacon around the edges and the somehow still magically stay together! leaves a little more room for egg too!
Looks delicious, Jenny!
I just made these with vegetarian bacon such a nice and easy breakfast option. The only problem I had was the one egg slid off at first haha had to fix the bacon tighter and use the cheese to kind of seal the edges.
I just made these (minus the bacon) one with a wheat sandwich bread and the other wish some cinnamon raisin bread – i am so satisfied now. Thank you for this! I’ll certainly be making these for my guests this weekend for brunch!
so cute!
I’ll test soon
Such a great idea! I didn’t have the big muffin pans, so the egg overflowed a little bit, but I made it work.
Oh wow! That looks absolutely delicious, I love how you took an old favorite and added your own twist. You also did an amazing job with the pictures, I will definitely try this recipe over the weekend.
LOVE your site. I have made a couple of your recipes so far. last night I made this one as a test drive because I want to make them for a retirement breakfast for a co-worker. LOVED by all. They were so yummy and easy! Thanks for such a wonderful site.
breakfast foods should always be high in protein and also in carbohydrates, we need food energy during the early morning ;~.
breakfast foods should always be high in carbohydrates to provide the energy you need in the mornign ~

Thanks for sharing

I don’t eat eggs (a tragedy, i know) and I’m never up when my husband leaves for work. I’d love for him to have these at breakfast. How do you think these will freeze and reheat for a quick morning dash out the door?
These are a huge hit in my house. I made them on a whim this weekend while we had out of town company. I didn’t have any bacon so I used good quality herb crusted turkey lunch meat and they were so good. My 4 yo keeps asking for them!!!
I’ll definitely have to keep this on the “to make” list. These look great and I know they would be a huge hit in my house!
These look fantastic! Have you ever tried it with uncooked bacon?
This seriously is genius and it is so adorable. I am making this asap just so I can look at how cute it is!
This is both practical and brilliant, all at once! Beautiful blog and great post!
these look great, I think my kids might even eat these! 😀
would sure help me out at breakfast time if they do…
Thanks for sharing this fab idea. 😀
Nice post. Good to know for anyone who’s interested in Twitter, old or new.
Awesome idea Jenny! Everything I love all together for breakfast….eggs, cheese, bacon and bread. I will be giving these a try.
This looks really good and easy. Great brunch idea!
Looks good and easy. Can’t wait to make them. Thanks!
