3. Grease a microwave-safe ramekin, pour in the batter, and microwave for about 90 seconds, or until set.
4. Let it cool for 1 minute, then carefully slice in half.
5. Toast each half in a skillet or toaster for that classic English muffin crispness.

What to Serve with High-Protein English Muffin

• Topped with mashed avocado, poached egg, and chili flakes
• As a base for a mini breakfast sandwich with turkey bacon
• Spread with almond butter and a drizzle of sugar-free honey
• Served with a smoothie or protein coffee for a complete breakfast

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Don’t over-microwave—it can dry out quickly. Stick to 90 seconds.
• For a fluffier muffin, beat the egg well before mixing.
• If baking, cook at 350°F (175°C) for about 12 minutes.
• Toasting after microwaving is the secret to getting that true “English muffin” texture.
