Cheesyenglishmuffins Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Add water and oil; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add egg and vinegar; beat on high for 2 minutes. Stir in cheese and enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until dough is smooth and no longer sticky, about 2 minutes., Roll dough to about 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a 3-in. round cutter. Roll scraps if desired. Coat baking sheets with cooking spray and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cornmeal. Place muffins on pans; sprinkle with remaining cornmeal. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour., Heat an ungreased griddle or electric skillet to 325°. Cook muffins for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown, turning every 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool. Split with a fork and toast if desired.

Steps:

• Place 1/4 cup flour, yeast, and 1/2 cup water in a mixing bowl. Whisk together and set aside for about 10 minutes to see if thin layer of foam develops to ensure yeast is active. Drizzle in vegetable oil; add salt, egg white, remaining 1 3/4 cup flour, and remaining 1/4 cup warm water. Mix together until dough is very wet and sticky. Cover. Set in a warm spot and let rise until doubled, about 2 hours.
• Pull dough gently from sides of bowl, stirring slightly, and turn out onto a well-floured rolling surface. Work in just enough flour until dough is easily handled and can be cut into 6 pieces, about 1 minute. Cut dough into 6 equal portions. Form a seamless ball of dough, adding a pinch of flour to keep it from sticking. Flatten to make thick disks. Transfer dough onto a lined baking sheet sprinkled generously with cornmeal. Let rise until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Add clarified butter to skillet over medium heat. Carefully transfer muffin disks to skillet. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Brown on one side, 5 or 6 minutes. Turn, and brown the other side, 5 or 6 minutes. Continue turning to get muffins evenly browned and cooked through, 7 or 8 minutes total per side. Transfer to a cooking rack and cool completely (this is key as you can't split the muffins unless they are cooled).
• Split cooled muffins with a fork, inserting tines all the way around edges so the 2 sides can be pulled apart. Toast and serve with jam.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 large muffin cups.
• Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large mixing bowl; stir Cheddar cheese into the flour mixture. Pour yogurt, eggs, and butter over the flour mixture; stir until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the tops just start to lightly brown, 18 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Mix the mayonnaise, Cheddar cheese, green onions, salt, garlic salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spread the cheese mixture over each English muffin half. Cut the muffins into quarters and place on a baking sheet.
• Broil in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly, 4 to 6 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix the cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, curry powder, olives and green onion, if using, together.
• Spread on toasted muffins; put in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix the first six ingredients together.
• Spread mixture on halves of English Muffins.
• Cut frosted halves into 4 wedges.
• Place on cookie sheet and bake in oven at 350 until top is bubbly, about 10 minutes.
• You can broil them, but then you will have to watch them carefully.
• These can be frozen uncooked- just put the topping on the english muffin and freeze in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Heat a griddle over medium-low heat.
• Spread the butter on the outsides of the split muffins. Divide the cheese among the 4 muffin bottoms. Cover with the muffin tops, buttered sides out.
• Griddle the muffins until deeply golden and the cheese glues the top and the bottom together, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to serving plates and serve hot.

Steps:

• After splitting the English Muffins, cut them into wedges so each muffin makes 8 wedges.
• Mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl. (Note: My mom prefers 5 or more drops of Tabasco, but use as little or as much as you like.).
• Spread each wedge of muffin with some of the mixture.
• Lay wedges on foil-covered cookie sheet and place under broiler. Boil until hot and cheese is melted (approximately 15 mins).

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the crab, celery, mayonnaise, pimientos, pecans and onion. Spread over English muffin halves. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 5 minutes or until bubbly. Top with cheese slices; broil 1-2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Scald the milk:
• In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat just until it starts to steam and a skin forms on the surface. You might see some tiny bubbles form around the sides, but don't let the milk come to a full boil. Maintain the milk at this temperature, decreasing the heat slightly if needed, for about 30 seconds, then remove it from the heat. Whisk in the butter and honey and set aside, whisking occasionally, until the mixture is warm but not hot, 10 to 15 minutes (you're going to use the scalded milk to proof the yeast, and if it's too hot, the yeast will die; it should feel lukewarm and register around 105°F on an instant-read thermometer).
• Proof the yeast:
• Combine the yeast and 2 tablespoons of the milk mixture in a small bowl and stir to dissolve the yeast. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Mix the dough:
• In a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine the bread flour, whole wheat flour, salt, milk mixture, and yeast mixture and mix on low just until the flour is incorporated into the liquid. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue to mix, occasionally scraping down the sides with a flexible spatula or scraper until the dough is smooth, elastic, and climbing up the hook but still very wet and sticky, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Let the dough rise:
• Generously oil the inside of a separate large bowl and scrape in the dough. You want it to slide around freely, so shake the bowl and loosen any areas where the dough is stuck to the sides. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm spot until the dough is doubled in size and filled with big air pockets, 1 to 1½ hours.
• Prepare the baking sheet:
• While the dough is rising, line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and generously brush the surface with more oil. Dust with cornmeal and set aside.
• Flatten the dough and chill:
• When the dough has risen, use a dough scraper or spatula to gently loosen the dough from around the bowl and let it gently slide out onto the prepared baking sheet. Try not to knock out too much air as you do this. Generously brush another sheet of parchment paper with oil and place it oiled-side down on top of the dough, then use the palms of your hands to flatten it down into a thin, even slab measuring about ½ inch thick. Leaving the top layer of parchment right where it is, cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 12 (cold dough will not only be easier to handle, but the English muffins will taste better, too).
• Form the English muffins:
• Remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator, uncover, and peel off the top layer of parchment. Use an oiled 3½-inch round cutter to punch out as many rounds as you can from the slab, fitting them close together for as little scrap as possible.
• The dough will be sticky, so oil your hands as well if needed, and press down firmly with the cutter, twisting once you hit the parchment. Depending on the shape of the slab and how tightly you cut out the rounds, you could get anywhere from 7 to 9 English muffins-if you have large pieces of scrap dough, pinch them together and cut another round. Discard any scraps and make sure the rounds have a little breathing room between them.
• Griddle the muffins:
• Transfer as many rounds as will fit to a cold griddle or large skillet, spacing them ½ inch apart (in a skillet, you'll have to cook them in batches). Heat the griddle or skillet over medium-low heat and cook until the muffins are puffed, the bottoms are crisp and deeply browned, and the surface has gone from shiny to matte, 7 to 10 minutes. Flip the muffins gently, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the second side is deeply browned, another 5 to 7 minutes.
• If the muffins are cooking faster, reduce the heat-you want them to cook slowly to help form interior nooks and crannies and to ensure that the centers are cooked through. If you're using a skillet, cook the remaining batches over low heat the entire time.
• Let cool and then split: Transfer the English muffins to a wire rack as they're done and let them cool completely. Stab the tines of a fork into the pale sides of the muffin at the midway point, puncturing the dough all the way around, then slowly pull the halves apart. Eat fresh or toasted.
• DO AHEAD: The English muffins are best eaten the day they're made but will keep, stored airtight at room temperature, up to 3 days. English muffins can also be frozen up to 2 months.
• Cooks' Notes
• Don't let the dough sit in the refrigerator for longer than 12 hours. Past this point the gluten network will start to break down due to the dough being very wet, resulting in muffins that are flatter and denser.
• If you don't have a cutter, or if you don't want to discard any scraps, use an oiled bench scraper to cut the slab into freeform pieces measuring about 3-inches across. The muffins won't be round, but they'll be just as good.
• Move the muffins around the skillet or griddle to promote even cooking, as sometimes the browning can be a little spotty. If you're using a skillet, you can rotate it around the burner as well.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, cook the beef, sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomato paste, garlic salt, oregano and cayenne. Spread over the cut side of each English muffin. Place on baking sheets. Combine the cheeses; sprinkle over meat mixture., Freeze for up to 3 months or bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.

Steps:

• Place muffin halves on microwaveable platter. Top 4 muffin haves with bacon; top remaining muffin halves with 2% Milk Singles.

• Cover each bacon-topped muffin half with Singles-topped muffin half.

Steps:

• Lightly spray cookie sheet.
• Put muffins on sheet.
• Mix together hash, ketchup, onion, parsley flakes, and oregano. Divide mixture on muffins.
• On each muffin, add two tablespoons cheese.
• Broil for 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and meat mixture is hot.
• Makes either 4 servings or cut each muffin into fourths and serve as a "nosh".

Steps:

• Mix the Old English Cheddar Cheese, crabmeat, garlic powder and butter together in a mixing bowl. Salt to taste.
