This is an oldie but goodie. It’s one of my favorite breakfasts OF ALL TIME! These Muffin Melts are perfect for preparing the night before and take just minutes to bake in the morning. All you do is smear the prepared spread on the English Muffins and pop in the oven. The result is nothing short of perfection.
The spread is the most delicious egg salad on the planet with bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, creamy mayo, Dijon mustard, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. When you broil them in the oven the cheese melts, everything warms through and English Muffin gets nice a crispy. It’s a full savory breakfast with eggs, bacon and toast, that you can take with you on the go.
I LOVE English Muffins, I always ask for one instead of toast when going out to breakfast. I haven’t found a restaurant yet that doesn’t have them, thank goodness, because I probably wouldn’t go back. The love is that real folks <3
This recipe is from the Pioneer Woman Cooks E-cookbook. If you download the book on your iPad it comes with a lot of great extras and videos. I highly recommend it!

I love everything from cake to kale. Life is all about balance. I like to live, laugh and love to the fullest! Our time is too short not to enjoy ourselves.
Sarah, these look incredible! I LOVE make-ahead breakfasts and am pinning this one to add to my collection 🙂 Thanks!
You can have them as soon as your Whole30 is done 😉
Oh Yum a winner-winner! Have a safe, great weekend Sarah! Your Florida Bud, Cheryl
So yum! Have a fabulous weekend 🙂
This looks like a wonderful breakfast dish- thank you for sharing with us, Happy FF 🙂
It’s so simple and beyond delicious! Happy FF!
Wow, just wow! Gotta try this.
You won’t be sorry 🙂
Great idea and recipe Sarah!
Thanks Dave!
Great breakfast idea! My breakfasts are usually very similar each day with almost never anything exciting or different. I sometimes think I should push myself but it rarely happens. I love how you can prepare these the night before so there’s almost no work to do in the morning.
Thank you! This is a great way to shake up your morning breakfast routine.
Normally the idea of egg salad puts me off things, as I have never been a big fan, but this on the other hand is just asking to be made. Sounds delicious!
This egg salad is so different from any other, you won’t be disappointed 🙂
Mmmm, I gotta try them, but without the mayo. 🙂 I can’t stand the mayo, however, I guess an avocado or some mustard will do the work very well. Thanks for this idea, Sarah!
Avocado would be the perfect substitute for mayo! Let me know how it comes out 🙂
Actually — I think I can smell this cooking! Yum… and love the photography!
The smell is so wonderful in the morning 🙂 Thank you very much!
Be sure to toast the muffins first. This was very tasty, even the way I made it. Two things I didn’t do, didn’t add bacon or refrigerate overnight. It’s worth trying again with refrigeration to see if it makes a difference. Thanks for sharing!
