The recurring trick in this group is the egg. A chain breakfast egg is cooked in a ring to a specific shape and a specific doneness - see the Sausage and Egg McMuffin - and getting that right is most of the difference between a home version that looks homemade and one that does not. Several pages here spend longer on the egg than on anything else, deliberately.
