Title: Charlie Parker's Diner Breakfast Horseshoe
Categories: Pork, Breads, Cheese, Sauces, Potatoes
Yield: 1 Serving

I don't know if I could eat all of this in one sitting. I'd probably be able to eat about half of it; does anybody do a smaller version?

They offer a "Pony" version - appoximatel;y half-sized. I have trouble

Which means I'd probably be better off ordering something else. Egg,
meat and English muffin, probably but no potatoes or cheese sauce.

IOW an Egg McMuffin.

No, I prefer them as separate items. I'm not sure what kind of meat and cheese McD's uses but I don't care for the way they combine with the
not so great egg on the muffin. We've made our own version from time to time, but I still would rather have the separate components.

Mickey D's uses Canadian Bascon or breeakfast sausage as the meat, the
cheese is "American" (mild Cheddar). The egg is just a hard-cooked egg
done in a ring to make it round. The other fats food joints use pre-mix "scrambled" egg.

Categories: Cheese, Beer, Sauces
Yield: 3 Quarts

The beer would be a no go for me. I know, the alcohol cooks out but the hop flavor remains.

And is part of the flavour profile

Which neither Steve nor I like.

I've had cheese sauce both ways - and the real McCoy is much more to my
liking.

I really like this recipe - but I don't make it often since I don't
drink beer at home and the other 5 cans of a six-pack take a lot of valuable space in the icebox.

Title: Brussels Sprouts in Beer
Categories: Five, Vegetables, Beer
Yield: 2 Servings

I like Brussels sprouts, most of the time roasted, with a drizzle of of balsamic vinegar and tossed with crumbled bacon. The only way Steve
will eat them is thin shaved in a kale salad mix we've found at Sam's
Club and Wegman's.

I always figured they were some sort of dwarf cabbage. I like 'em baked, broiled, fried, steamed, boilede, etc. Whole or halved. Never trie4d (that
I know of) shaved.

Title: Copycat Mcdonald's Egg Mcmuffin
Categories: Breads, Pork, Cheese, Eggs
Yield: 1 servings

1 English muffin; split open
1 tb Butter
1 sl American cheese
1 lg Egg
pn Salt
1/4 c Water
1 sl Canadian bacon

Toast both halves of the English muffin until they're
golden brown. Spread the butter over the insides.

Place the bottom of the English muffin on a plate and
lay the slice of cheese over it.

Lightly grease the inside of the egg ring with vegetable
shortening or oil, then set the egg ring on your nonstick
skillet. Let the skillet and ring get good and hot over
medium heat. Crack the egg into the egg ring and use a
fork or the tip of a knife to pierce the yolk. Sprinkle
the salt over the egg.

Here's the big secret that I learned from a family
friend, Oliver Alvarez, who works at McDonald's: Add
steam. Trapping steam around the egg while it cooks
helps it set quickly, and gives it a puffy, light
texture. To do this, pour a bit of water in the pan
around the outside of the egg ring and cover with a lid.
Let the egg cook for about three minutes until it's set.
Remove the pan from the heat, and gently lift the egg
ring to reveal your cooked, perfectly round egg.

Use a spatula to move the egg onto the cheese slice on
the muffin.

Add the Canadian bacon slice to the still-hot skillet
and cook it for one minute on each side. Slide the hot
bacon on top of the egg. Add the top half of the English
muffin to complete the sandwich, and enjoy it while it's
hot!

HOW DO I GET THE PERFECT ROUND EGG? Look for metal egg
rings with a little heft (instead of lightweight
silicone). The extra weight will help prevent the egg
white from seeping under the bottom. Make sure you let
the skillet and egg ring get hot before adding the egg.
The heat will quickly set the egg white, which helps
keep it in the egg ring.

If you don't want to use an egg ring, look around your
kitchen! Round cookie cutters (make sure they're heat-
resistant) and Mason jar lids can work just as well as
an egg ring. Whichever method you're using, be sure to
grease the egg ring generously (as well as the pan). If
you really want to experiment, you can also use a thick
onion ring slice as an egg ring but the egg may not
release from the onion.

Hi Sean,

No, I prefer them as separate items. I'm not sure what kind of meat and cheese McD's uses but I don't care for the way they combine with the
not so great egg on the muffin. We've made our own version from time to time, but I still would rather have the separate components.

Canadian bacon (backbacon) and American cheese. The eggs are fresh
eggs steamed on a grill using an egg ring.

OK, I don't like Canadian bacon as much as regular bacon and the
American stuff I can't even call cheese. My parents used to buy that for
cheese (just cheese and white bread) or toasted cheese sandwiches; when
Steve and I got married, we bought nothing but the real thing.

I've made several thousand of them in my time...

But how many have you eaten? (G)

I'd rather have a good extra sharp cheddar, slice of ham or sausage on
the side and scrambled eggs, grits or wheat toast. Or, instead of the
eggs, cheese and meat separate, an omelette with all of them or veggies.

I really like this recipe - but I don't make it often since I don't

Check out some of the prepackaged salad mixes; that's where we find the

BNot that m,any. I usually got my breaks after 10:30 AM which is when
McD's switches to lunch on the weekdays. On weekends, it's 11 AM but my manager would often give me weekends off because I was older and she
"had lots of teenagers to work".

So you did rather well, not having to eat McD's all the time. When we
were in AZ, our younger daughter worked at Taco Bell while in high
school. One night we stopped in, forget why, but it was during supper
time. Her manager gave us her meal discount that night. (G) One night,
after a day of high school, drill team practice, then a shift at TB, she
came home about 10 pm with both a Taco Bell meal and one from McD's. She devoured them both--I would have been doing good to finish one--and went
to bed shortly afterward as she had school the next day. She did well at
TB but decided not to move into a manager's job.
