English Muffins

Well, I went to the grocery store this weekend and I got some English muffins. The only thing- I don't have a clue of something creative to put on it. Any suggestions besides pork and meat/cheese together? ^^;;;

(I can have meat, and I can have dairy- just not together since I attempt to keep kosher)

- an egg with cheese (ha, wait never mind!)- pesto sauce- ketchup - tomato paste or sauce- tapenade - salsa- minced egg white & caviar- turkey & mustard- chicken & mustard- olives & artichoke hearts- grilled vegetables of your chosing- sauteed spinach & garlic- honey & banana slices- cinnamon & banana slices or baked apple slices....I could go on! 

I like to make mini pizzas sometimes with Contadina Pizza Squeeze or something like that and shredded cheese. I usually put chopped peppers or other veggies on it to keep the calories down instead of pepperoni or meat.

yeah i was just about to say the mini pizza thing thats what i do :) sooo yummyyyy. or almond butter,peanut butter, a little bit of maragrine/butter cinnamon and splenda,egg whites and cheese

• PB & J
• Cream cheese and chives
• Egg and cheese

I like scrambled eggs on a toasted muffin with sliced tomatoes, and a little bit of deli mustard.

Or sliced tomatoes on an open faced muffin, topped with slices of cheese, then broiled.

Sweet stuff too!
Cottage cheese and low cal fruit spread
Light marg, cinnamon and splenda
Make mini pizzas MMM. I use pineapple and ham
Beef patty, BBQ sauce, pineapple,  beetroot, lettuce & tomato - how aussie!!
Vegemite nad cottage cheese grilled
Peanut butter and bananas
Bananas and honey with granola on top.

If you are eating it for breakfast use some low calorie, sugar free jam. Mmmm.

When i ate english muffins for breakfast, I would toast it, smother it with a wedge of light laughing cow cheese and a tbsp. of sf jelly. Then i would have .5 cup of egg beaters.

 Be advised most English muffins are marked OU-Dairy.

Also to the person who suggested egg and cheese- that is fine. Eggs for some odd reason are not considered milk or meat. 

I buy the Thomas' Light Multi-grain  English muffins @ 100 calories each. I eat them just about every day. A few of my favorite ways are for breakfast with laughing cow light swiss and s/f strawberry jelly. For lunch I  toast them and have a turkey burger with fried onions. I also toast them and put PB2 on it for a healthy and low calorie snack. Other than that, I use it like you for regular sandwiches...always toasted though :)

Thank you thank you thank you for posting this thread. I had every intention to buy English muffins yesterday but missed the isle and didn't buy any after all.

But after all these yummy topping ideas they're on the top of my grocery list.

Thomas makes an awesome Whole Wheat English Muffin that is like 130 cals and has like 6 grams of protien and 5 grams of fiber each. Damn good too, I had two this morning. ;-) But with 50% less sugar and calorie jelly.

Thanks for the advice archer, I'll go get some on Saturday on my weekly grocery shop tour. :)

I just LOVE Thomas' Light Multi-grain  English muffins @ 100 calories each with 8 grams of fiber!!!

My favoritest thing .... toast them, and then spread spinach-hummus with a tomato slice on top (and a little Mrs. Dash seasoning sprinkled on top!) It's so absolutely fabulous!

You can also make pizzas! Just use a few tablespoons of salsa, add some healthy cheese, and top with something suitable.... mushrooms, peppers, meatless crumbles (Boca brand), tofu, or -- my favorite --- low fat turkey pepperoni.

Well Multi-grain and whole-grain are two different things. The light ones you like have a first ingredient of enriched flour if I recall correctly. I went with a little higher calorie option and a few less grams of fiber for the whole grains. Personal preference I guess.
