Ingredients
Nut Topping
- 0.33 cup walnuts finely chopped
- 0.33 cup pistachios finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons butter softened or melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
For Assembly
- 2 English muffins
- honey for drizzling
- mascarpone cheese optional, for topping
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the broiler. Use the 'Low Broil' setting, but adjust as needed for your oven.
- In a food processor, pulse the walnuts and pistachios until finely chopped. Set aside a few spoonfuls for garnish. Combine the remaining chopped nuts with softened or melted butter and brown sugar in a small bowl. Mix well.
- Slice the English muffins in half and toast them on a foil-lined baking sheet under the broiler for about 3 minutes, until golden brown.
- Spread the nut mixture evenly over the toasted English muffin halves. Return the baking sheet to the oven, keeping it a few inches away from the broiler, for 1 minute, or until the topping is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
- Optional: Top each muffin with a small dollop of mascarpone cheese and gently swirl it in to melt. Finish with the reserved chopped nuts and a drizzle of honey. Serve immediately.
