Definitely too much sodium for my liking, and as someone else said it even has more sodium than the original! One way to counteract that is to use egg whites rather than egg substitute, which is what I do when I make breakfast sandwiches at home. Not bad though! Yum! - 11/4/09

Using egg whites instead of egg substitute hadn't even crossed my mind, but I like it! Thank you for the suggestion!

I've been making this same exact thing every day this week for breakfast except I used turkey bacon instead of ham. I made up my bacon and eggs ahead of time and just toast my muffin and warm the eggs/bacon in microwave. Yummy! - 11/4/09

Sounds like a great easy breakfast that I could make quickly in the mornings. The sodium content is higher than the original McDonald's version, for those concerned about sodium, but the rest of nutrients are much better. I will be trying this after I get to the store for ingredients. - 11/3/09

Thanks for the tip about sodium. I normally don't watch my sodium intake, but I think this could be further modified to reduce the sodium. I'm going to get to work on that!

This sounds like the perfect answer to on the run people. I love McDonald's Egg McMuffins. - 11/4/09

I ahve done this for years using different types of muffins or bread, 2% cheese (different flavors) and also using lower sodium ham or Morning Star Farms sausage patties. these sandwiches are awesome tasting no matter how you make them. And I always use one to two egg whites. - 4/4/13

the egg sandwiches are great in a flat bread (100 calories) or in a low carb tortillas with some salsa on the eggs, makes a great mexican breakfast buritto! - 8/28/11

You can lower the sodium by using Sara Lee Reduced Sodium ham. It is a great breakfast idea and quick! - 8/8/10

I make mine without the egg and use canadian bacon and a whole wheat english muffin. This with a piece of fruit and a few glasses of good water keep me full until lunch. - 4/28/10
