Looks delicious! How do you cook your eggs?

Sorry to interrupt but I have the exact same question

Cheese on the bottom layer is key!
Cheesebongles t1_iwz7iqv wrote
I know right? It’s critical. No idea why it works so much better like that.

Am I crazy or is it sandwiched between two whole English muffins instead of one torn in half?

Say again? I'm not sure what you're asking.

What makes it deluxe american cheese?
RealMudflapper t1_iwzcdfg wrote
I would think it’s because the cheese hits your tongue more easily. Less distance to travel than when it’s on top.
smoak_purpp t1_iwzcmor wrote
Instead of tearing or cutting the English muffin in half and using those halves to sandwich the eggs and sausage, it looks like you used whole English muffins lol.
aminorman OP t1_iwzcytz wrote
Ah! These are halves.
jumpsuitjam t1_iwzdt1y wrote
Thanks! I'll definitely be trying that technique.

As I understand it: Milk rather than daily dairy byproducts and oil.

Sandwich artist, some may say.

Very nice. My stomach growled looking at this.

Daily byproducts sounds terrifying.

There is no other American cheese. Deli Deluxe is simply the best there is.

Where did you get that ring?
CJRedbeard t1_iwzv1fn wrote
I'd eat those.
How do ypu get your eggs to cook like that?
andeh37 t1_iwzwne6 wrote
why didn't you toast them?
delicatearchcouple t1_iwzxicj wrote
So it's just the premium version of Kraft singles. Don't buy Kraft, too many good cheeses out there to support.

Lol think it's supposed to be dairy

The only deluxe American cheese is our bestest Kraft slices. Best for simple foods.
IknewUrMom t1_ix0pqtl wrote
But Kraft deli deluxe is amazing. It is nothing like the typical American cheese slices.

Very little, it's mostly an FDA regulation nuance that you would never care about other than it allows them to use a slightly different official name, which they market as 'deluxe' because it obviously catches your attention.
Interestingly I see OP has already posted about milk rather than byproducts and oils. As far as I can tell, milk is always used in all their cheese. I am not even sure you can call anything a cheese without milk. Though the internet certainly is full of 'American cheese is evil' gut feelings.
American cheese is basically cheese + sodium citrate. Not the devils chemistry. And yes you then add all the normal stabilizers and shelf-life increasers to create a 'cheese product' rather than a regular wheel of cheese.
Or more simply, think of deli meat/cheese vs pre-packaged on the shelf. The deli is usually better quality and more expensive because it will go bad faster than packaged (not always, you can certainly find deli meat pre-packed too). Deluxe in this case would be buying from the deli, original would be whatever is on the shelf. And if you're thinking, that's not a huge difference, you are correct.
Super bonus info: Since American cheese is just cheese + sodium citrate, you may be wondering would this work with other cheeses? And yes, it does. You can make melty delicious cheese in any flavor you want. Imagine American cheeses goo factor + blue cheese on your burger? Sploosh.

Yeah I wouldn't eat someone's daily by-products

I know you got downvoted but I came here to say this too lol
delicatearchcouple t1_ix13nxc wrote
Appreciate the wealth of info here.
To the super bonus info, do you have any input on the best way to experiment with sodium citrate and other cheeses?
big_bearded_nerd t1_ix19dch wrote
Deluxe sounds better when describing food porn.
str8tripin t1_ix1aaib wrote
Sodium citrate plus "insert your choice of cheese or cheeses here" equals amazing home made mac and cheese

That egg 🥹
Exploding_dude t1_ix2kphq wrote
American cheese stays stocked in the fridge for grilled cheese, breakfast sandwiches, cheeseburgers. You don't buy American cheese instead of a camembert or a pecorino just like I wouldn't put ricotta on a cheeseburger.
delicatearchcouple t1_ix37jcm wrote
My point was I like to buy a higher quality American than Kraft.
