Savoury Muffins With Feta Cheese Onion And Rosemary 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!

FETA CHEESE AND SCALLION MUFFINS WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• In a big bowl combine all of the dry ingredients. Add the scallion slices and the feta cheese. Toss to combine.
• In a second bowl combine eggs, oil and yogurt.
• Add the wet to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
• Fill into prepared muffin tins and bake in the preheated oven at 180° C/350°F for 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
• Enjoy! :).

TRIPLE CHEESE & ONION MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and oil a 12-hole muffin tin. Whisk the oil, egg and buttermilk. In a mixing bowl, mix the flour, 1 tsp salt and mustard powder, then stir in the cheddar, spring onions, chives and half the Parmesan.
• Use a large spoon to gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry - don't overmix, just lightly combine. With the final few folds, mix in the soft cheese cubes. Spoon the mixture between the holes in the tin (they will be quite full), scatter with the remaining Parmesan and bake for 25 mins.

SAVORY MUFFINS WITH GOAT CHEESE, ROSEMARY AND KALAMATA OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees and adjust oven rack to lower-middle position.
• Prepare the first three ingredients and set aside.
• Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
• In a separate large bowl, beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer til fluffy.
• In a separate bowl, whisk mustard and eggs together.
• Beat the mustard-egg mixture into the sugar and butter mixture until pea-sized lumps form (wet ingredients).
• Stir the Kalamata olives into the wet ingredients.
• Stir the goat cheese and the rosemary into the dry ingredients.
• Alternating by thirds, stir the dry ingredients and the yogurt into the wet ingredients until a very thick batter forms.
• Lightly oil 12 large muffin tins of 1/2 cup capacity or four mini-muffin tins with vegetable oil or spray.
• Divide batter evenly among the cups (a spring-action regular or mini ice cream scoop works). Muffin cups will be full.
• Bake until golden brown about 25 minutes for large muffins or 10-12 minutes for the minis.
• Cool slightly in the pan, then remove and serve!
• ALTERNATE FLAVORING to sub for the first three ingredients are: 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1 tablespoon dried oregano and 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes. This combo was great, too!
