Plus, when you can make something as yummy as these savory topped English muffins, why wouldn’t you have breakfast daily?! Eating breakfast helps jump-start your metabolism and fuels you for the day ahead, but it can also provide essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs to function properly.
I love English muffins, and there is so much more you can do with them besides topping them with butter (even though that’s delicious too) and using them to make a simple bacon and egg sandwich. A few years ago we shared some of some of our favorite English muffins toppings, but they were mainly sweet, so we decided it was time to share some of our favorite savory English muffin toppings. Savory breakfast options don’t have to be limited to just toast
These easy-to-make savory and healthy toppings make English muffins perfect for any mealtime, but they are easy enough to make on those busy weekday mornings, so don’t be scared to get creative in the kitchen!
Here are savory additions we added to our English muffins, and the health benefits of each of them:
You can enjoy them plain, but they taste divine toasted with butter, honey butter, jam, or even raspberry sauce. English muffins are essential for eggs Benedict and as the bread for breakfast sandwiches.
Guacamole + tomato + cilantro
Move over avocado toast! There’s a new breakfast dish in town!
Guacamole
Guacamole is a yummy appetizer, snack, and dip. Not only does it taste delicious, but it also has some health benefits.
Made with avocados which are an excellent source of healthy fats but they also contain a significant amount of fiber.
Tomatoes
But did you know that tomatoes can also offer numerous health benefits? Eating these juicy fruits can help to reduce your risk of several diseases, improve your skin health, and even aid in weight loss.
Tomatoes are packed full of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C and potassium. Vitamin C helps to boost immunity while potassium aids in lowering blood pressure. They also contain lycopene, which has been linked to reducing the risk of some cancers. Tomatoes can also help improve your skin health by providing antioxidants that protect against sun damage, increasing collagen production and fighting free radicals.
Tomatoes also have very few calories but are rich in fiber which helps keep you feeling fuller longer.
I also added cilantro because it has a little bit of a kick and if the perfect addition to anything with guacamole in my opinion
