Margherita English Muffin Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the carrots, cucumbers and tomatoes together in a bowl. Toast the muffin to desired darkness. Spread the hummus on one half of the muffin, place the cheese slice on top, then add the avocado. Top with the vegetable mix. Sprinkle the top with pistachios if using, and close the sandwich. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Stir flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Set aside.
• Mix water, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl. Let stand until yeast begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
• Stir half the flour mixture into yeast mixture until no dry spots remain. Stir in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. When dough pulls together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large bowl, then place dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Punch dough down, divide into 4 equal pieces, and form each into a ball.
• Preheat oven with a pizza stone to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Stretch out and pat 1 dough ball to form a circle 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Place dough on a lightly floured pizza peel. Top with 1/2 cup of tomato sauce and spread to cover within an inch of the edge of the dough. Arrange 5 slices of mozzarella cheese on top of the tomato sauce, then place 5 basil leaves on top. Drizzle pizza with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt to taste. Repeat for 3 remaining dough balls.
• Slide each pizza onto the pizza stone in the preheated oven. Bake until cheese is bubbly and the underside of the crust is golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.

Steps:

• Make the base: Put the flour into a large bowl, then stir in the yeast and salt. Make a well, pour in 200ml warm water and the olive oil and bring together with a wooden spoon until you have a soft, fairly wet dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 mins until smooth. Cover with a tea towel and set aside. You can leave the dough to rise if you like, but it's not essential for a thin crust.
• Make the sauce: Mix the passata, basil and crushed garlic together, then season to taste. Leave to stand at room temperature while you get on with shaping the base.
• Roll out the dough: if you've let the dough rise, give it a quick knead, then split into two balls. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into large rounds, about 25cm across, using a rolling pin. The dough needs to be very thin as it will rise in the oven. Lift the rounds onto two floured baking sheets.
• Top and bake: heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 8. Put another baking sheet or an upturned baking tray in the oven on the top shelf. Smooth sauce over bases with the back of a spoon. Scatter with cheese and tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil and season. Put one pizza, still on its baking sheet, on top of the preheated sheet or tray. Bake for 8-10 mins until crisp. Serve with a little more olive oil, and basil leaves if using. Repeat step for remaining pizza.

Steps:

• Toast the english muffin.
• In a microwaveable cup roughly the same diameter of the muffin, add the egg, a tablespoon of water.
• Beat the egg, add the bacon (or sandwich meat, or nothing).
• Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes (until egg is cooked) while muffin is toasting.
• Assemble the muffin and let stand for a few minutes to melt the cheese.

Steps:

• 1. In a microwavable cup about the diameter of your muffin, spray the bottom with cooking spray. ( a cup with a curved bottom will work the best).
• 2. Place ham, bacon or sausage in the bottom of the cup.
• 3. Crack the egg and add to the cup.
• 4. With a fork, puncture the egg yolk 2 or 3 times. (if you don't, you will have exploded egg all over your microwave).
• 5. Place enough shredded cheese to cover the egg.
• 6. Cover the cup with a paper towel,.
• 7. Microwave on high for 2 or 3 minutes, enough time to thoroughly cook the egg yolk. (all microwaves are not created equally, so you may have to experiment with the time. Better to under cook the first one and then cook a bit longer until you know the correct time for your oven).
• 8. Split the muffin and toast it while the egg is cooking.
• 9. Butter the muffin halves.
• 10. Slide the egg out of the cup and onto the bottom half of the muffin. (comes out easier if you let it set for a minute or two to give the cheese time to firm up. I use a butter knife to go around the edges of the melted cheese to free it up. If you sprayed it enough, it should slide right out.
• 11. Add some jelly to the top half of the muffin if you like, salt and pepper to taste, close it up and enjoy.
