Kim'S English Muffins
Flavorful and cheesy, these spicy vegetable English muffin bites are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick snack, appealing to veggie lovers and cheese enthusiasts alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread the vegetable and cheese mixture on each split English muffin half.
- Cut each muffin into 1/4-sized pieces.
- Broil until the cheese melts and the tops are golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding cooked sausage or diced ham for extra protein. You can substitute the Cheddar and Colby cheeses with Monterey Jack or a dairy-free cheese for a different flavor profile. If you want a bit of heat, add sliced jalapeños to the vegetable mix. Be sure to chop the veggies finely to ensure even cooking and melting of the cheese.
Serving Suggestions
These English muffins make a fantastic appetizer or snack. Serve with a side salad or some fresh fruit for a light meal. They pair beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or tea. You can also serve them alongside Myrtle'S Pumpkin Pie for a delightful brunch spread or as part of a vegetarian recipes selection.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the muffin pieces under the broiler for a few minutes until heated through and the cheese is bubbly. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 30 seconds, but broiling will give you that crispy finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these English muffins ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the muffin halves with the vegetable and cheese mixture a day in advance. Simply cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate. When you're ready to serve, just broil them until the cheese is melted and golden.
What other toppings can I use?
You can customize your muffins with various toppings. Consider adding spinach, artichoke hearts, or even sun-dried tomatoes. For a different flavor, try using feta cheese or goat cheese in place of the Cheddar and Colby. The possibilities are endless!
How do I know when they are done broiling?
Keep a close eye on the muffins while broiling. They are done when the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tops have turned a beautiful golden brown. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes, depending on your broiler. Avoid walking away to prevent burning!
