This is a sponsored blog post; while the views expressed here were genuinely mine, consideration was paid to me by Bays English Muffins to review this product. There’s a “secret” ingredient in this Parmesan Garlic Crisps Recipe. I wouldn’t have believed it myself. Except I did make them so… I guess I have to believe my own eyes! So here it is… these crispy, crunchy, savory bites are made with… Bays English Muffins!
Bays English Muffins – Not just for breakfast!
Yes! I know, it wouldn’t usually have occurred to me to use English muffins outside of breakfast (which they are entirely delightful for!). Bays English Muffins challenged some bloggers to rewrite the unwritten rule that says English muffins are just for breakfast.
Just like we don’t have to follow silly fashion rules (like not wearing white after Labor Day? How limiting!), we also don’t have to keep certain foods solely at certain mealtimes. Bays English Muffins are great at any meal – or as a snack or appetizer! You would be amazed at all the recipe options I had to pick from from Bays.
But… since on the weekend I wrote this, we were having soup, and I’d forgotten to pick up a crusty loaf from the bakery… I decided to let Bays English Muffins save the day by creating this Parmesan Garlic Crisps Recipe.
These crisps were the perfect side for our hearty beef stew dinner. (I am frankly surprised I managed to guard them until dinnertime as I was batting away big and little hands all afternoon). I’d love to have them alongside this delicious Creamy Pumpkin Soup recipe, too!
The steps for these Parmesan Garlic Crisps recipe were so simple, I made two batches back to back. Because after sampling the first batch, I knew it wouldn’t be enough deliciousness for our family!
Check out how this recipe came together so quickly!

Try Bays English Muffins any time of day!
I will admit this was my first time trying Bays English Muffins, and I loved their pillowy, soft texture. When toasted, this makes for a light, crispy muffin!
I know you’re curious to try swapping your typical bread for Bays English Muffins in your next recipe. Here’s just a few ideas: try making French Toast with Bays, or use them as burger buns, or try a Bays English Muffin as a pizza crust! You really can use a Bays English Muffin for any meal or occasion. It’s like that little black dress – dress it up, dress it down, but always have it on hand!
Just a heads up, look for Bays in the dairy case, because they are a chilled product and need to be kept frozen or refrigerated (that’s how fresh they are!). To further spice up your next English muffin-based recipe, Bays comes in Original, Sourdough, Multi-Grain, and Cinnamon Raisin. Tons of choices!
