Mushroom Parmesan And Basil Muffins Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN SAVOURY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C/320°F fan).
• Brush a 12 hole standard muffin tin generously with butter
• 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, feta, sun dried tomato, capsicum, olives and green onion. 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 12 holes in muffin in (I use an ice cream scooper). Batter should be thick and fill muffin tin slightly mounded (see video)
• Bake for 25 minutes or until the muffins are golden and crusty and spring back when touched in the centre.
• Cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack. Serve warm for optimum experience!

MUSHROOM MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven 200°C, line muffin pans with paper cases or grease them.
• Mix eggs, oil, milk, parmesan, parsley and thyme.
• Add mushrooms and ham and mix thoroughly.
• Add flour and baking powder and mix just until combined, do not overmix.
• Place in prepared pans and bake 15/20 minutes or until skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove from pans immediately and let them cool on a rack.
• Variations:if you like a stronger mushroom flavour you can add 1/4 cup dried mushrooms soaked in hot water until tender and chopped- You can substitute diced bacon for the ham- You can add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts- Can be made cholesterol free by omitting egg yolks and using only whites+ using skimmed milk instead of full fat+ omitting the cheese.
• Serve these muffins with soups, beef or chicken meals,and salads.
