English Muffins with Sugared Nuts for 2

Instructions:

1. Place a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tbsp (25g) of unsalted butter until it begins to foam.
2. Stir in 1/2 cup (60g) of chopped pecans or walnuts and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Sprinkle 3 tbsp (38g) of granulated sugar and 1 pinch (0.5g) of sea salt evenly over the nuts.
4. Stir constantly for 3–5 minutes until the sugar melts into a bubbling, mahogany-colored syrup that coats the nuts completely.
5. Immediately transfer the sugared nuts to parchment paper to cool.
6. Split 2 English muffins and generously butter the cut sides with 2 tbsp (28g) of salted butter.
7. Place the buttered muffins under the oven broiler for 3–4 minutes until the edges are charred and the center is golden, or use a standard toaster on a medium-high setting.
8. While the muffins are still steaming, press the cooled sugared nuts firmly into the buttered surface of the bread.
9. Drizzle with 1 tsp (5ml) of maple syrup for a final touch.
