How people cook with it
English muffins are a versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many ways. They are a popular choice for breakfast and brunch.
- Toasted with butter

To prepare, split each muffin in half using a fork, which helps maintain their texture. Toast the cut sides until golden brown and slightly crisp. This can be done in a toaster, under a broiler, or in a skillet. Once toasted, they are ready to be topped with your favorite spreads like butter, jam, or cream cheese. They also serve as an excellent base for breakfast sandwiches or more elaborate dishes like eggs Benedict.
How it differs from similar foods
