CHEESY ENGLISH MUFFINS



Cheesy English Muffins image

I got this recipe from my mom, but I don't remember where she got it. It's one of the simplest, yummiest appetizers and is a hit every time. Another plus, is I've also been able to adapt the recipe to fit my IBS diet and it still tastes very good imo. :D This recipe is the original; to adapt it for my IBS I replaced the Miracle Whip with light Miracle Whip or a vegan mayo, the cheese with a non-dairy sub like soy cheese, and the bacon bits are usually fine, but I can cook up some turkey bacon until very crisp and let cool before adding them. Be careful when biting into these, they can be really hot. Many people have burnt their mouths devouring these tasty appetizers before my mom can plate them!

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 20m

Yield 48 wedges/triangles, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 English muffins, split (1 package)
1 cup Miracle Whip
1 cup green onion, chopped
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup bacon bits (made with real bacon such as Hormel brand)
Tabasco sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • After splitting the English Muffins, cut them into wedges so each muffin makes 8 wedges.
  • Mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl. (Note: My mom prefers 5 or more drops of Tabasco, but use as little or as much as you like.).
  • Spread each wedge of muffin with some of the mixture.
  • Lay wedges on foil-covered cookie sheet and place under broiler. Boil until hot and cheese is melted (approximately 15 mins).

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh English muffins. Stale muffins will not hold up well in the oven.
  • If you don't have a muffin tin, you can bake the English muffins on a greased baking sheet.
  • Be careful not to overcook the English muffins. They should be golden brown on top and cooked through in the center.
  • You can use any type of cheese you like in this recipe. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Gruyère are all popular choices.
  • If you want to add some extra flavor to the English muffins, you can sprinkle them with garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika before baking.
  • These English muffins are best served warm. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave if you need to.

Conclusion:

Cheesy English muffin appetizers are a quick and easy snack or party appetizer that is sure to please everyone. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking.
