Delicious Skillet-Cooked English Muffins

Ahhh, English muffins – crispy, crunchy and perfect with a little butter and jam for breakfast! I have made Sour Dough English Muffins and they are good, but they are labor intensive. I recently found a recipe that produced this delicious bread in a much quicker fashion. I had to try, and I’m so glad I did!

English muffins are not baked in the oven, but are cooked in a skillet. That gives them their beautiful golden exteriors and soft centers. Perfect for absorbing the butter you slather on!

They both looked delicious. The decision as to which I should make was an easy one. As I read the ingredients, I realized that I had everything necessary to make the Banana Sour Cream Coffee Cake.

Tortilla Shell Quiche

While on the hunt for healthy alternatives for some of my favorite breakfast foods, I found the delicious Three-Ingredient Pancakes that I shared here recently. I have made them several times and swoon at their texture and flavor!

Then my daughter told me about making a quiche and swapping out the caloric crust for a tortilla shell! I buy the La Banderita Carb Counter tortillas and they are super low in calories, so I knew they would be a good choice for my “crust.”
