Homemade Egg McMuffins
These Homemade Egg McMuffins are perfect for a McDonald’s craving!
They’re lightened up for a guilt-free easy breakfast.
This Egg McMuffin is only 4 points while the original McDonald’s one is 8 points.
Homemade Egg McMuffin’s will also great for meal prep.
The Ingredients
English Muffins: I bought Thomas’ light multi grain English muffins. They taste great and they’re only 2 points each.
Canadian Bacon: This lean Canadian bacon is similar to ham. The Canadian bacon comes from the loin while ham comes from the hind legs.
I only used one slice of Canadian bacon so it was 0 points.
Egg: I used a fresh cracked egg just like McDonald’s uses.
Cheese: McDonald’s uses American cheese but I used Sargento ultra thin cheddar cheese slices. I couldn’t find the 2% American cheese slices and I didn’t want to use fat free American cheese.

The Cost
Not only will you save 4 points by making Egg McMuffins at home, you’ll also save money.
The Egg McMuffin costs an average of $4.12 nationwide. To buy six Egg McMuffins it would cost $24.72.
Now I’ll break down the cost to make your own Egg McMuffins:
- English Muffins – $3.00 (for six)
- Eggs – $2.59 (for 12 eggs)
- Canadian bacon – $3.49 (20 slices)
- Sargento ultra thin cheddar cheese slices – $3.50 (20 slices)
I spent $12.58 to make six Egg McMuffins at home. I still had leftovers of all of the ingredients except for the English muffins.
How to Make Homemade Egg McMuffins
I sprayed an 8 oz. oven safe ramekin with nonstick cooking spray. Then I added the egg and cracked the yolk.
Bake the egg at 350 degrees F. for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg is cooked through.
Once the egg was done baking I toasted the English muffin.
Next, I assembled the sandwich. I placed a slice of cheese on the bottom piece of the English muffin followed by the egg, then a slice of Canadian bacon.
Place the top of the English muffin on the sandwich and enjoy!
Meal Prep Tips
To make multiple Egg McMuffins at once I would use multiple ramekin bowls to make multiple eggs at once.
Assemble the sandwich like you normally would then wrap it in parchment paper and seal it in a baggie.
To heat up the Egg McMuffin simply wrap it in paper towel and microwave for 30-45 seconds.
