Are you looking for a unique appetizer recipe that’s sure to tantalize taste buds?

Look no further than my Dad’s weird, but wonderful English Muffin Appetizers! Even better, you may already have all the ingredients sitting in your fridge, and the prep time is fast, so you can whip these up quickly for a party or potluck at a moment’s notice! They are easier than my Classic Cheese Puffs, but dare I say equally delicious!

Step#1 : Create the Cheese Mixture

Mix up the cream cheese and egg first, before adding the rest of the ingredients. It’s helpful if the cream cheese is at room temperature and softened.
Then you’ll season with Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste
Fold in the cheddar cheese, olives and green onions. And that’s it!

Step#2: Spread the Cheese Mixture on the English Muffins

Split the English muffins in half and place them on a baking sheet. Better to pull them apart than slice them. That way they’ll retain all their nooks and crannies.
Spread the cheese mixture on each muffin. Spreading the mixture right up to the edges.
For a crispier appetizer leave a little edge between the filling and the muffins, otherwise you can cover it to hide the muffin if you wish to keep your guests guessing what’s underneath!

Step#3: Bake and Slice

Bake the appetizers at 375F for at least 25-30 minutes. The longer they bake the crispier the muffins will be.
Be sure the cheese starts to turn golden brown and bubbly.
You can also pop the tray under the broiler for an extra crispy appetizer too!
Slice into quarters to serve with something chilled and bubbly.
