Cook Perfectly Round Egg in Mason Jar Lid

In this recipe, I will show you how to cook eggs in a mason jar ring. Why might you want to do that? Well, to create a perfectly round egg that goes great on sandwiches, especially a homemade McDonald’s Egg McMuffin.

Whenever you crack an egg and cook it in a pan, it usually spreads out all over. This is fine if you just want to cook the egg for like bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns. But if you want the egg to be smaller and have a round shape, that is where egg rings come in.

But maybe you don’t want to buy another kitchen gadget if that is the case, learn how to cook eggs in a mason jar ring! It is so easy to do, and you don’t need to buy anything new, provided you already have the mason jar rings lying around. If I can do it, you can do it. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

1 large egg
1 tbsp oil or butter 15g

Instructions

Set stovetop burner heat to medium. Place the skillet on the burner and spray it with cooking spray or use butter or oil. Then spray the mason jar ring generously. Place the ring in the middle of the pan.

Crack the egg into the ring. Allow it to cook for a few minutes. Use tongs and a spatula and flip it over and cook that side for 20 seconds or so for an over-easy fried egg.

Use the tongs and remove the ring from the egg. It still may stick a bit to the ring, just wiggle it a little and the egg will come out.

Serve the egg however you want. I love to make homemade McDonald's Egg McMuffins. Enjoy!
