775.0. "eggs only mc muffin?" by VIDEO::TEBAY (Natural phenomena invented to order) Tue Oct 20 1987 16:32

    Does anyone knowhow McDonalds makes the eggs for the 
    egg mcmuffins? 
    I love the eggs-yolk done white done but not burned.
    I have tried egg rings and that helps but the white still
    gets overdone. When I tried putting the yolk in,let it cook,
    and adding the  white but still can't get that perfection
    they can.
    
    Anyone know?

775.2	they don't use microwave	CSCMA::L_HUGHES		`Wed Oct 21 1987 09:47`	9
	I used to work at McDonalds long long ago. They do not microwave their eggs. They use fresh eggs and a ring. They break the egg yolk after it is put into the ring. Maybe you are using too large of an egg, it might not get a chance to cook through before the whites are over done. Linda
775.3	cooked on the grill	HUMOR::EPPES	Make 'em laugh	`Wed Oct 21 1987 12:17`	9
	.2 forgot to mention that they cook the eggs (in the rings) on the grill (the same grill they use for hamburgers later on in the day). I've seen egg rings in cooking shops (Joy of Cooking, etc.). -- Nina (another ex-McD's employee)
775.4	Breaking the yolk as well	HPSVAX::MANDALINCI		`Tue Oct 27 1987 16:11`	8
	When I used to work in the "snack bar" at college, for their breakfast sandwich they didn't use the rings but would put the egg on the grill and give the yolk a break as well with the corner of the spatula. This would break the casing around the yolk a let it flow just a little. Obviously, they are not as visually appealing as using an egg ring - they are just well cooked fried eggs (but seemed to cook faster and more even with the hit yolk) Try it in the rings - it may be the trick we were all looking for.
775.5	Mike MacMuffins	KYOA::BATTISTELLA		`Thu Oct 29 1987 12:35`	7
	We call our version of Egg MacMuffin "Mike MacMuffins" after my husband who likes to make them. I use a heavy egg ring so there are no leaks. Crack one egg at a time into a bowl, mix it up so it is all yellow, pour it into the egg ring and allow it to set. After it has set, run a knife around the inner edge of the egg ring and remove it. Flip the egg over. Perfect size for an english muffin. We serve this whith taylor ham (pork roll) and cheese on top.
