So, a couple of weeks ago I was stumped because I had nothing in the fridge for work lunches. But I had some home made breakfast sausage patties in the freezer and I had a package of English muffins in the fridge. And, I always have eggs.
So, I got creative.
I dug out the same bottomless and topless tuna can that I’d used to cut out the sausage patties (I have two tucked away), and fried a couple of eggs at a time in them.
When the whites were set, I ran a butter knife around the inside of the can to free the egg, removed the can, and flipped the egg over so I could cook the second side
Then I assembled my sandwiches: bottom of the muffin, sausage patty, fried egg and half a slice of American cheese and finally, the top of the muffin.
DONE!!
Wrap up in food wrap and tuck away in the fridge or freezer … Now, isn’t that better than going to that ‘place’ and buying them?
What brought this to mind? Well, yesterday I ran across a post on one of the blogs I follow where someone made their own English muffins. They even used the same type of rippled biscuit cutter than **I** have in my cupboard.
Hmmm… maybe I’ll make my own English muffins next.
Cooking is Fun ... Really!! 
Haha, whenever I make my own breakfast sandwiches, I always tell myself I will make homemade english muffins…but I have not done it yet.
I agree. Why buy it when you can make it at home? (Although that doesn’t mean that I don’t buy them now and again)
I avoid fast food places … though KFC and Taco Bell HAVE been known to tempt me on a number of occasions.
Oh yum. Not sure I am up to making muffins. My bread baking rarely has a happy ending.
Bread baking I can do. I started with pizza and sweet dough. 🙂 Some of my yeast tagged posts are at the link below.

Candy is one of my biggest failings as I can’t get consistent results.
Will check them out. I made biscuits the other day that worked out well after a lifetime of baking bread that was more suitable as a brick. I failed with candy too…
I have never made English muffins. I think about it and then give in to my inner pig and make biscuits. I will try these soon because everyone should know how to make them well. 🙂
I want to try making my own at least once.
