Ingredients
- 1 jumbo egg
- 1 English muffin
- 1 slice American cheese
- 1 slice Canadian bacon
- non stick cooking spray
Instructions
Start the Coffee (the only flaw in this gadget, it does not have a timer to start the coffee for you).
Put the English muffin in the toaster oven
On one side of griddle place your piece of Canadian bacon, let it cook a few minutes before doing next step.
On other half of griddle place an egg ring (but you can use an empty can with the bottom cut out, tuna cans work great.) spray with cooking spray and crack your egg inside of the egg ring and let it cook.
Take muffin out of the grill, while still warm place the cheese on it, place the done Canadian Bacon on top of the cheese, and then your cooked egg.
Pour cup of coffee and you have a complete breakfast in a matter of minutes!! Now don't you just love your 3 in 1 as much as I do?
