Default Using English muffins ---- and more

English muffins are so versatile! I tend to toast them & more (crispy),
with butter then topped with raspberry jam. There are many other
methods to use English muffins from simply toasted to something fancy
akin to eggs benedict (sp?).

One aspect I've noticed at restaurants when it comes to English muffins
is - they're way undercooked - as in 'limpy'! Comparing a 'sausage
english muffin' vs. biscuis english muffins isn't easy - the various
vendors are too many!

But then, all are personal preferences. Some/Many places are better
than others!!!

Sky, who loves a great breakfast!!! ;D

One of my favorite uses is to spread an English muffin with garlic
butter and then top with a slice of tomato and cheddar cheese &
microwave till the cheese starts to met.

The elderly relative likes a thin slice of red onion added.

I used to do something like that in the oven, sometimes with some green
pepper added. I didn't have a microwave in those days.

I do something similar, but I toast the muffin crisp first, and then
top brown in the toaster oven with the tomato and cheese. Often, I'll
skip the tomato and just melt cheese on the toasted, buttered muffin.
I've also discovered that a nice jam with melted cheese is
surprisingly good.

I have done the toasted muffin version also, its a toss up which i
prefer with the deciding factor usually being that of how hungry i am.

If im making an afternoon or evening snack i will toast the muffin and
add some avocado if i have it on hand, if i have just woke up i put the
untoasted muffin in the microwave after i put the coffee in the boiling
water and they are both ready to consume a minute or 2 later.

Im also very fond of a nice thick slice of sourdough bread, spread with
mayo & mustard and layered with cheese and deli thin sliced meat then
nuke till cheese is runny and serve with a knife and fork.

My fave is limburger melted on an English over a slab of sweet onion
and tomato. One of my emergency suppers when there's no time to
cook. Course, better not be going out in company that night.

I used to get something in a restaurant called tuna twins. It was an
English muffin served in halves, topped with a thick slice of tomato, a
scoop of tuna salad and a slice of cheese, melted over the top. Next to
impossible to eat unless you used a knife and fork. But oh so good!

The venerable Pacific Dining Car in downtown Los Angeles has Eggs
Sardou on the menu - my old boss' favorite.
