English Muffin Breakfast
Today I’m sharing a delicious breakfast recipe! Mix up these melts ahead of time and you have hot breakfast for a week! Melted cheese, warm eggs and bacon… you can’t go wrong here! This delicious concoction is similar to an egg salad. And, actually makes a divine egg salad as well!
Mix it up, cover it, and put it in the fridge and you’re set for the week. Each morning, you simply heap it onto an English Muffin half, bake it and indulge. I love that you can make it up ahead of time and broil the muffins each morning for a fresh, hot breakfast!
One of my friends makes breakfast for her kids every single morning. When she told me this I looked at her like she was nuts! I am just trying to survive the morning most of the time and here she is making pancakes, waffles and breakfast casseroles!
I’m pretty sure she needs to try these English Muffin Breakfast Melts next! Even I could make these in the morning for the kids. In fact, after trying these it’s happening because all I have to do is pile the egg mixture on a english muffin and broil it a few minutes.
Viola! You have a “homemade breakfast” that makes you look like you are a rock star Mom!
English Muffin Breakfast Ideas
My kids also devoured these so rest assured that your children will enjoy them just as much as you! Unless you were hoping to keep them all to yourself. No judgement here if you do that either! I love knowing it’s something my kid will enjoy because sometimes those little people in our house rule our menus and it’s difficult getting them to eat anything other than pizza, mac and cheese and hot dogs!
Can anyone else relate to that?
