Cheesy English Muffins

My adult daughter, 30 years old, was diagnosed with CF when she was 22 months old. She is a 'cheese-a-holic' and loves, loves, loves extra sharp cheddar cheese sauce. This is an easy breakfast meal that can be dressed up with other ingredients. You can even put a vegetarian patty on the muffin before putting on the cheese.
