So I’m walking through the store looking for random stuff to buy in Target, I do this every so often. I then see that they have back in stock the Egg & Muffin Toaster from Back to Basics, I figure “why not?” and buy it. Then I hopped over to get some eggs, bacon, and whole wheat english muffins. When I got home I was actually pretty excited to try this thing…maybe it’s because I’ve been on a strict diet lately and have been looking for something new to eat or maybe I’m just weird? Anyways, here’s some pictures and a review for your enjoyment:

Here is a layout of what was used:

It says to only use one egg, but since I was in a creative mode I decided to use two (reallll creative, right?)

The pan is really small, about as big as your palm….almost an inch deep I’d say. It says to break the yolk with a fork (which I did below but I really don’t think it would matter if you did or not).

Here’s a picture of the toaster. The stainless steel pan in the front is where you add water. For one egg you add 3 TBSP of water. Since I did two eggs, I added a little more than 6 TBSP of water.

After the water is added, cut your english muffin and/or toast then put your egg on top of the water.

Now you are ready to go…simply press the Egg/Toast button and push down the lever.

Almost done…

Once it’s done, remove the pan from the toaster and take the steam lid off. This is what you see:

Now the pic doesn’t do this justice. It came out perfect, an I rarely use that word.

Throw the bacon (turkey bacon for a healthy alternative) in the microwave for 30 seconds and you now have a two egg sandwich.

And the finale…

Overall this is the best $30 I’ve ever spent. I would pay upwards to $75 for this thing. It takes less than 5 minutes with clean up to make a two egg sandwich. This is just a simple sandwich too. In the manual it gives you many recipes for other types you can make. Did I mention this thing also STEAMS HAM while it cooks the egg? No, I didn’t. I’m going to try that later this week.

I almost forgot to comment on the taste. We all know what a McDonald’s Egg McMuffin tastes like…this thing trumps it. It honestly tastes better than ANY breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. There is no comparison. I can’t explain how good this thing works.

Oh and one more thing, it HARD BOILS 4 EGGS in ~7 minutes. You literally wash the egg, poke it with the egg poker it comes with and throw it in. Takes ~1 minute to set up. Not only that but they are the BEST hard boiled eggs I’ve ever had also. You can also adjust how hard/soft you want them with the amount of water you add. This thing is great. Take a plane to the nearest target if you have to and pick one up.

• Cost: 10/10

• Taste: 10/10
