Make-Ahead Muffin Melts

Recipe from: Drummond, Ree (2012-03-27). The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier

Makes 12 muffin melts

Ingredients:

1 cup bacon (cooked and cut – approx 12 pieces)

12 hard-boiled eggs- peeled and chopped

2 cups grated Cheddar cheese

1 cup (real) mayonnaise

1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard, or more to taste

½ teaspoon garlic powder

5 dashes of Worcestershire sauce

6 English muffins, split – or rolls or bran muffins would be good too!!

Directions:

Add the cheese, the chopped bacon, and the mayonnaise to a bowl.

Next, add some Dijon mustard… Along with the garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce.

Fold all the ingredients together, then give it a taste. Add more of whatever you think it needs!

Preheat your oven’s broiler to low.

Spread a good amount of the spread on the halved English muffins.

Place them on the lower rack of the oven and broil them for 3 to 4 minutes, being careful not to burn them. The topping should be hot and the cheese should be melted.

Variations • Stir finely diced onion and/or bell pepper into the egg/cheese mixture. • Use Pepper Jack cheese instead of Cheddar for a little kick. • Toast on a bagel half instead of an English muffin. • Spread on sandwich bread and add lettuce and tomato for a twist on egg salad.

Make it a great one!!
