Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole English muffins
- 2 tablespoons Butter (salted or unsalted)
- 1 small Red onion
- 4 slices Deli ham slices
- 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the English muffins in half and toast them lightly using a toaster or under a broiler. Set them aside.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat and add the sliced onions. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the onions are softened and caramelized. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly onto the cut sides of the toasted English muffins.
Layer one slice of deli ham onto each half of the English muffins. Top the ham with an even layer of caramelized onions.
Place one slice of Swiss cheese on top of the onions on each English muffin half.
Preheat the broiler in your oven to high. Place the prepared English muffin halves onto a baking sheet and place them under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to ensure they don’t burn.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Garnish the melts with freshly chopped parsley (if using) for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve the Ham Swiss and Red Onion English Muffin Melts immediately while warm and enjoy!
