Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Split the English muffins in half to create 8 halves. Place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended to create the cheesy topping.
Spread a generous layer of the cheesy mixture evenly over each English muffin half, using a butter knife or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the muffins are lightly golden.
Once baked, let the appetizers cool for 2-3 minutes, then serve warm. Enjoy your cheesy English muffin appetizers!
