Hey, you like what you like. I wouldn't bake those frozen (love 'em)
raw biscuit pucks to take to work, either. English muffins are more
"sturdy" for something like this. I eat at my desk and don't want
crumbs scattering around. As for the Canadian bacon, it's a blast from
the past and happens to fit perfectly on an English muffin.

This isn't something I'm looking to make a bunch of ahead of time to put
in the freezer. Good idea, though.
