Homemade 'Mcdonalds'

Hi all

I'm going to try to recreate a healthier hm version of a sausage and egg mcmuffin. I've bought some pork mince to make a 'sausage pattie', but I actually have no idea what to do with it!

Any ideas much appreciated xx

My suggestion would be to make a kind of burger out of the sausage meat.

Mush it up with a beaten egg, some breadcrumbs and some mixed herbs and season. Shape into a pattie shape, chill if required in advance and then dry fry (the fat in the pork should be adequate).

I haven't got sausage meat I sillily bought minced pork:rolleyes: What could I add to make it taste like that?

Pork mince is sausage meat! Just add mixed herbs, salt and pepper with the egg and breadcrumbs - it will be fine!

Thanks, fingers crossed it tastes yummy!

Don't forget the gherkin, mustard and tom sauce if you want the real experience.

Mum makes her own burgers out of turkey mince - but they always taste undercooked to me - even though they're not (one of Mum's bugbears is undercooked meat!)

Thanks for your help, this turned out well, everyone ate it, always a good sign. Used some wholemeal muffins that I bought reduced in Tesco's, eggs and cheese, and of course the pork mince. Think I need to make the burgers a little thiner next time, as by the time they were cooked in the middle, they were abit overdone on the outside! But on the whole, a success, and at least I know exactly what's in them, unlike the McD's ones

Get yourself down to Farmfoods and buy a pack of their Lorne Sausage (Hint - its square) let it defrost and cut it circular with a pastry cutter, put it in a barely warm contact grill (George Forman thingie) for about 57 seconds, until just grey in the middle and burnt a bit on the outside ( Actually it is painted on Gravy Browning and they are microwaved) then you need a gallon can of egg yolks and a two gallon can of egg whites which you mix through a dispenser into a ring mold and steam for about ermmmm 15 seconds ish (until rubbery). Add a slice of the cheapest processed cheese you can find (about 44p for 10 so far!) then put the lot in a factory pre-toasted Muffin (Muffin - My bottom!!!) and zap the whole lot for 20 seconds - Wrap in greaseproof paper and let it sweat till luke warm and charge a fortune for it.

Dead easy and healthy as well.

I got quite addicted to egg mcmuffins a few weeks ago due to the free coffee at McDonalds voucher in the Metro. So, I decided to make my own at home! I used a silicone egg circle from Quality Save to make it round and look more like the real thing. Check out the price difference (all ingredients bought from Tesco):

1 x white muffin - 12p
1 x free range egg - 24p
1 x dairylea cheese slice - 12p

48p! A third of the price of a McDonalds one - and would be cheaper (27p) if you used non-free range eggs (which I wouldn't) and cheaper processed cheese (which I wouldn't).

And it means I'm not giving McDonalds any money, which is the best reward of all.

Now, off to make my Sunday morning muffin! Om nom nom.
