English Muffin Yummies
Creamy, cheesy, and savory, these crispy English Muffin Yummies feature black olives and green onions, perfect as a quick appetizer or snack for any gathering.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine chopped black olives, mayonnaise, chopped green onions, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl.
- Spread the mixture evenly on each English muffin half.
- Cut each muffin half into 6 wedges.
- Place the wedges on a baking sheet and heat under the broiler until bubbly and golden.
- Serve warm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor twist, consider adding diced jalapeños or sun-dried tomatoes to the olive mixture. If you're out of Parmesan, mozzarella or cheddar can be good substitutes, though they will change the flavor profile. Make sure to broil the muffins on a middle rack to prevent burning, and keep an eye on them as they cook, just like with the Milk Chocolate Chip Cake.
Serving Suggestions
These English Muffin Yummies make a fantastic appetizer or snack for gatherings. They pair well with a fresh salad like Pineapple Cheddar Salad or can be served alongside soups for a hearty lunch. For a complete meal, consider serving them with a side of Fresh Blueberry Muffins for a sweet finish.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover English Muffin Yummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as this may make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned olives instead of fresh?
Yes, canned olives are a convenient alternative. Just make sure to drain and rinse them well to reduce excess salt. This will help maintain the flavor balance in your English Muffin Yummies.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make this dish vegan, substitute the mayonnaise with a plant-based version and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese. The result will still be flavorful and satisfying while adhering to a vegetarian diet.
Can I freeze the prepared muffins?
Yes, you can freeze the prepared English Muffin Yummies before broiling them. Lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to an airtight container. When ready to eat, broil from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
