-
Slice the Muffin: Use a sharp knife to carefully slice the English muffin in half horizontally. Be gentle to avoid squishing the muffin.
-
Preheat Your Toaster or Oven: If you're using a toaster, set it to a medium setting. If you prefer using an oven, preheat it to around 350°F (175°C).
-
Toast: Place the muffin halves, cut side up, into the toaster or on a baking sheet in the oven. Toast until they reach your desired level of crispiness. This typically takes 3-5 minutes in a toaster and about 5-7 minutes in an oven.
-
Watch Closely: Keep an eye on the muffins to ensure they don't over-toast. You want a nice, golden-brown color.
-
Serve Hot: Once your English muffins are perfectly toasted, remove them from the toaster or oven, and let them cool for a moment before adding your favorite toppings.
-
Add Toppings: Add a little bit of butter for flavor on each side of the muffin and then add an egg (cooked your way of choice). For this recipe, we use an over-easy egg so the eggy yolk runs out onto the muffin.
