Ingredients

• 4 pieces English muffins
• 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained if canned)
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven’s broiler to high, or set your toaster oven to the broil setting.

Step 2

Slice each English muffin in half lengthwise, creating 8 open-faced halves. Lightly butter the cut side of each half and place them on a baking sheet, buttered side up.

Step 3

Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly toasted. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 5

Remove the toasted muffins from the oven. Evenly divide the pineapple and cheese mixture onto each muffin half, spreading it to cover the surface.

Step 6

Return the muffins to the broiler for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent over-browning.

Step 7

Remove the muffin melts from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Pineapple and Cheese Muffin Melts!
