Cheese And Vegetable Muffins Recipes

SAVOURY CHEESE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/350F (standard) or 160C/320F (fan).
• Place butter and garlic in a microwave proof bowl and melt in 30 second bursts. Mix.
• Brush a 12 hole standard muffin tin generously with butter, being sure to slather with some garlic. Reserve some butter to brush tops.
• Whisk Dry ingredients in a bowl.
• Whisk Wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
• Pour Wet into the Dry ingredients bowl. Mix 8 times. Add cheese, mix as few times as possible just to incorporate remaining bits of flour - no more than 7 big stirs (secret to soft muffs).
• Divide between 11 holes in muffin in (I use an ice cream scooper). Batter should be thick and fill muffin tin to top (if in ball shape due to scooper, leave as is). See video.
• Bake for 22 - 25 minutes or until the muffins are golden and crusty and spring back when touched in the centre.
• Remove onto cooling rack, brush with remaining butter (microwave again if needed) and cool slightly before getting stuck into them!

100-CALORIE CHEESE, VEGETABLE AND EGG MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a Non-Stick 12-Cup Regular Muffin Pan extremely well with cooking spray. Spray the base of the cavities and sides, then run your finger over the sides so that every inch is liberally coated with spray or you will be chiseling off stuck food; set pan aside.
• In a large bowl add carrots, peppers, peas, corn (or mix and match with your favorite vegetables; read blog post for suggestions) and toss to combine.
• Loosely pile about 3 tablespoons of vegetable mixture to each muffin cavity, or enough so that each is filled to about 2/3 to 3/4 full; equally distribute filling mixture among cavities until gone; set pan aside.
• In a 2-cup glass measuring cup (the measuring cup makes for easy pouring), crack the eggs and lightly beat with a whisk.
• Add the salt and pepper, to taste, and whisk to combine.
• Pour about 2-3 tablespoons of egg into each cavity, equally distributing among the cavities. They will be about 3/4 full after being topped off with egg.
• Top each cup with a generous pinch of cheese, about 1 tablespoon each.
• Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until muffins are set, cooked through, and are lightly golden. They will puff in the oven, but sink upon cooling.
• Allow muffins to cool in pan on top of a wire rack for about 10 minutes before removing. You will likely need to rim each cavity with a small knife to help dislodge muffins. I find it easiest to rim with a knife and then 'pop' the muffin out using a small spoon.
