English Muffin Pizza

A quick lunch or an afternoon snack, this easy-to-prepare recipe fits the bill!

Cooks are usually very sociable people.  After all, you don't prepare a delicious meal just for yourself - you want to share it with others.  And because of that you find you have a store of wonderful food associated memories.  This particular very simple recipe has two very fond memories for me.  One - it's first thing I taught my grandson to cook for himself and two - when my favorite aunt and uncle from Scotland were visiting us I prepared this one day for lunch.  My uncle enjoyed it so much I had to make it every day thereafter for the remainder of their visit!

1 English muffin, split and lightly toasted
two thick slices ripe tomato
two slices aged cheddar cheese
pinch of salt
a few grindings of black pepper
a sprinkle of mixed Italian herbs

On a foil lined pan, place a slice of tomato on a muffin half, sprinkle with seasonings and top with cheese.  Place under a broiler for two or three minutes or until the cheese is nicely melted.    WATCH THE VIDEO

Parmesan Toasts...a quick appetizer

Need a quick appetizer made with ingredients always on hand?  Well, except for a French baguette that is!  Parmesan Toasts fit the bill nicely.

Simply thinly slice a baguette and lightly toast the slices - leftovers will keep in a zip-lock plastic bag practically forever.  Mix together 1/2 cup of mayonnaise (low-fat is fine), 1/2 - 3/4 cup of finely grated parmesan (store-grated is OK), 2 tablespoons grated onion and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper.  If you don't have red pepper, use 1 teaspoon hot sauce. 

Spread thickly on desired number of toast slices and bake at 350 degrees until lightly browned.  Leftover mix will keep for several days and the toasts are always on hand should you need some breadcrumbs!

1 French Baguette

1/2 Cup of Mayonnaise

1/2-3/4 Finely grated parmesan cheese
