English Muffin

bread · breakfast · toasty

Yeast makes it fluffy. English muffins use yeast, which creates tiny air bubbles that make the bread light and spongy inside. When you toast them, those little pockets get crispy on the outside.

Split and toast it. You break an English muffin in half and pop it in the toaster to make it warm and golden. The heat makes those famous nooks and crannies even crunchier and brings out a delicious toasted flavor.

Famous breakfast base. English muffins are the star of eggs Benedict, a fancy breakfast dish with poached eggs and creamy sauce. They also inspired the McMuffin at McDonald's, which you might have seen in a restaurant.

Sweet or savory toppings. You can load them up however you want: butter and jam for sweet, or eggs and bacon for savory. Honey, cheese, fruit, and sausage are all delicious choices too.

Small but mighty. English muffins are only about 4 inches across and 1.5 inches tall, making them the perfect size for one or two people to enjoy.
