\"Riddled<\/a><\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago we had a North Carolina snowstorm that knocked out our power for over 36 hours. It got mighty chilly mighty fast with no heat, and fortunately some sweet friends of ours took us in for the night. Before we hauled 4 people and a dog\u00a0(and approximately 30% of our belongings) to their house, we entertained\u00a0ourselves by shuffling the contents of the fridge into coolers, grinding coffee beans in the car with a car charger, and wearing multiple pairs of pants and socks. Fortunately, we have a gas stove, so we were able to heat up food – and accidentally made this delicious discovery.<\/p>\n

Without a functional toaster, I buttered an English muffin and put it nook-and-cranny side down in a hot pan. I stuck a pot on top to help it stay in contact with the pan, and a couple of minutes later it was\u00a0the best English\u00a0<\/em>muffin ever.<\/i>\u00a0So crispy – like the outside of a grilled cheese sandwich – but with extra crunch from that classic English muffin texture. Wow.<\/p>\n

Umm, I’ve had one every day<\/em> since. I justify getting a pan out\u00a0even though my toaster works again by scrambling a couple of eggs afterwards (heck, the English muffin greases the pan for you!), and this is my new breakfast and I love it so, so much.<\/p>\n

A cautionary note if you have a fear of sogginess like me – the bottom of the muffins get a little steamed from being under the pot. You can either flip them over and toast the bottoms for a minute in the pan, or if you’re in a hurry (and it’s breakfast, so you probably are), you can griddle the tops, then slide them into the toaster oven and turn it on just while your eggs cook. It’s not long enough to overcook the top, but it dries up the underside.<\/p>\n
