Corn Cheese Muffin

Cheese Muffin is perfect teatime snack loaded with cheese, sweet corn and fresh herbs. They can also be served along with your favorite wine or soup around dinnertime. It is highly recommended to make corn cheese muffin in large batches because they disappear fast.

This is my first attempt at baking savory muffins and I am totally addicted to these cheesy little bites. The aroma of freshly plucked herbs from the kitchen garden, the sweetness of the corn kernels and the gooeyness of cheese make these corn cheese muffins an absolute crowd pleaser.

Special Tips To Make Perfect Cheese Muffins:

Measure all the ingredients correctly. Baking is not at all about intuitions. Use standard measuring cups and spoons.

Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature before preparing the batter. Else, cold ingredients straight from the fridge might affect the texture of the muffins.

Cheese also has some amount of salty flavor so add the salt in the batter accordingly.

Store cheese muffins in an airtight container for 2 – 3 days in the fridge. Reheat cheese muffins in the microwave for 1 – 2 minutes before serving.
