English muffins are small, round, and flatbreads typically split in half, and toasted English muffins are known for their airy, chewy texture, they have a mild, slightly tangy flavor, thanks to the yeast in the dough. English muffins are not sweet or cake-like; they’re more like a loaf of soft, bubbly bread. They are commonly used in breakfast dishes.
In our house, breakfast is a big deal. My family and I have this little tradition: we enjoy English muffins—crispy, warm, and slathered with butter and jam every morning. But with our packed schedules, we don’t always have time to make fresh muffins or buy them as often as we’d like. One day, I had an idea that would change our mornings for the better.
I decided to start freezing the muffins to keep them fresh longer, so they’d be ready anytime we wanted. Here’s the trick I use: First, I cut each muffin in half—this makes it simple to toast them right from the freezer. Then, I wrap each half in plastic wrap or foil to keep them from drying out. Next, I put the wrapped muffins in a freezer-safe bag, squeeze out extra air, and seal the bag. I label it with the date, so I know exactly when I froze them. They stay fresh for up to three months! When we want one, we just pop it into the toaster for a warm, crispy treat.
Since then, no matter how busy our mornings get, we always have a delicious breakfast waiting for us. It feels a bit like magic when everyone sits down, and I can pull out a perfectly toasted muffin at a moment’s notice. It’s our little morning secret, and it’s made breakfast a cozy, reliable ritual we can all count on.
