Guide Note

Round, yeast-leavened bread rolls, English muffins have light, airy centers with deep craters.

A common North American breakfast food, English muffins are often toasted and served with butter or jam, but can also be topped with cooked egg, and ham or bacon to create breakfast sandwiches such as McDonald's Egg McMuffin.

Also a vital ingredient in Eggs Benedict, English muffins are available in a variety of flavors, such as cinnamon-raisin, whole wheat and sourdough.
