Can you eat an English Muffin without toasting it?
English muffins can be enjoyed without toasting them. Although it is customary to toast them, they are perfectly edible when eaten untoasted.
Made from a yeasted dough, English muffins have a longer shelf life and can still be consumed without toasting. However, toasting the muffin can enhance its flavor and texture, adding to the overall enjoyment.

This is an overview of the ingredients and instructions. Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact quantities, detailed instructions and special notes.
Substitutions and Variations
- If you don't have English muffins on hand, you can use regular bread slices as a substitute. Simply spread the garlic butter mixture on the bread and proceed with the recipe.
- Another option is to use a French baguette instead of English muffins like I do with my Air Fryer Garlic Bread Recipe!
- And if you're not a fan of garlic butter, try my herb butter recipe!
🥣Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: English muffins have a firm texture, so it's best to use a serrated knife to cut through the crust without squashing the muffin.
Step 2: Place each half on a baking sheet that's been lined with parchment paper. Then spread the homemade garlic butter on top.
⏲Baking Instructions
Step 3: Bake at 425°F for about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 4: The edges of the English muffins should have a crisp texture and a golden brown appearance, indicating that they are perfectly cooked.

🍶Storage Tips
- Let the toasted English muffins cool completely before storing them. This will help prevent moisture buildup and maintain their texture.
- If you plan to consume the toasted English muffins within a day or two, you can store them at room temperature in a cool, dry place. However, if you want to extend their shelf life, it is best to store them in the refrigerator. The cooler environment will slow down any potential spoilage.

The airtight food storage container includes reusable 12 rectangular containers (3*51 oz, 3*34 oz, 3*17 oz, 3*8 oz) and 6 small round sauce boxes (3*2 oz, 3*1 oz), 2 labels and 1 marker pen. And large Capacity can perfectly fit for most food storage.
❄️Freezing Tips
- Let the toasted English muffins cool completely before freezing them. This will prevent moisture buildup during freezing.
- Place the muffin halves in a freezer-safe container or resealable bag. Make sure to remove as much air as possible before sealing to prevent freezer burn.
Reheating Tips
- When you're ready to enjoy the leftover toasted English muffins, you can reheat them in a toaster, toaster oven, or under an oven broiler. This will help restore their crispness and warmth.
➡️Top Recipe Tip
- Toasted English muffins are most enjoyable when freshly prepared, as they may lose their texture and flavor when stored.
- They should be consumed as soon as possible after toasting.
