In North America and Oceania
Muffins are commonly available in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. Outside of the United Kingdom they are commonly called English muffins. They are most often toasted and then topped with butter and/or jam. They are also used in breakfast sandwiches with meat (bacon, ham, or sausage), egg (fried, scrambled, poached or steam-poached) and/or cheese. They are the base ingredient in the traditional American brunch dish Eggs Benedict. They often can be found in different varieties, such as whole wheat, cinnamon raisin, cranberry, apple cinnamon, and so on.

Famous quotes containing the words north and/or america:
“—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
At the North Pole. . .
And now what? Why, go back.
Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
“The Republican convention, an event with the intellectual content of a Guns’n’Roses lyric attended by every ofay insurance broker in America who owns a pair of white shoes.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
