Make Your Own Egg McMuffin
I have something to confess: I have recently fallen in love with breakfast sandwiches. I used to hate them but now I can’t get enough of their delicious egg & meat & cheese combination (props if you know where I got that from!) But you see, it’s an expensive habit. It’s close to $3 nowadays…
