Thank you to Bays English Muffin for partnering with us on this post. 

In 1972, McDonald’s introduced its now hugely popular Egg McMuffin on a toasted Bays English Muffin. Without Bays English Muffins, the original McDonald’s Egg McMuffin could have been just another flash in the pan instead of becoming immediately popular and enduring to become the American icon it is today.

Did you know you can still recreate this yummy breakfast item yourself using the same Bays English Muffins brand as McDonalds originally used? Don’t you want one right now?????  

But English muffins aren’t just for breakfast anymore! They are delicious any time of day.

Using the recipe his English grandmother brought to this country in the 1800s, George Bay made English muffins. Bays English Muffins great buttery, yummy deliciousness is still made the same way today, same recipe, same ingredients.

They are my husband Bruce’s favorite type of English Muffin. As well as having a fresh taste and a soft texture they come pre-sliced, which is always a plus.

We like to eat a little more simply on Sunday afternoons and recently hosted our daughter and her family for a pizza fest. Here are my two little junior sous chefs showing off the finished menu they helped create–Three Bays English Muffin Pizzas and Garlic Bread:

They are so easy to make – and it’s a great way to involve the children in the kitchen. We’ve shared how to make English muffin pizzas, but today, we’re going to share a couple fun variations.

Using Bays English Muffins as the crust, we chose three recipes from Bays.com.  The first was Shitake Mushroom & Herb Pizza:

Don’t be scared away from making these by the price of the shitake mushrooms, which at my local King Soopers were  $8.99/pound. The mushrooms came to under two dollars and they were plentiful.  The recipe also calls for Havarti cheese slices, which I don’t like, so I substituted provolone. This is definitely a milder cheese and worked fine for our taste buds. In other words, use whatever cheese you like. This is a great vegetarian choice, but if you prefer meat lovers, we decided adding Italian sausage would be perfect on this mushroom pizza.

The second pizza we made was  Barbecue Chicken Pizza:

I would suggest adding a little more barbecue sauce to the mix for these and to eat them immediately after they come out of the oven. Doesn’t all food taste best when it’s piping hot? Especially when barbecue sauce is an ingredient. 

The third pizza, and our favorite was Southwest Shrimp, Bacon, and Pineapple Pizza:

What pizza feast doesn’t taste even better with garlic bread? Here is the simple recipe we used to make the best-tasting  garlic bread ever:

Bays English Muffins are sold in the refrigerated dairy cases of major grocery stores, carefully chilled for freshness. Bays Original, Sourdough, Multi-Grain, and Honey Wheat provide options for everyone.

 

 

You can go to Bays.com and check their Store Finder to find a store near you. Because this is a refrigerated product and space may be limited,  some of the stores may not always carry them, so you’ll want to plan ahead. 

This is a sponsored blog post and Bays English Muffins compensated me for reviewing this product; however, I truly found them to be delicious and recommend them without reservation. #sponsored #BetterWithBays
