Transform your snacking game with these irresistibly savory English Muffin Olive Cheese Melts! Featuring the bold brininess of black olives, the creamy richness of cheddar and cream cheese, and a hint of garlic and oregano, these cheesy bites come together in just 20 minutes for the ultimate crowd-pleasing appetizer or quick lunch. Toasted English muffin halves provide the perfect crispy base for the bubbly, golden cheese topping, while a touch of mayonnaise adds luxurious creaminess. Perfect for game days, parties, or a comforting family treat, these olive cheese melts are easy to customize and serve warm for maximum deliciousness.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the English muffins in half horizontally so you have 8 halves in total. Arrange them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Finely chop the black olives and place them in a mixing bowl.
Grate the cheddar cheese and add it to the same bowl as the olives.
Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until it forms a spreadable mixture.
Evenly spread the olive-cheese mixture onto the cut sides of the English muffin halves.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the English muffins are golden brown and the cheese topping is bubbly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the melts cool for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the melts warm as a quick snack or light meal!
