Cheese Muffin is a perfect teatime snack loaded with cheese, sweet corn, and fresh herbs. These cheesy muffins can also be served along with your favorite wine or soup around dinnertime. It is highly recommended to make cheese muffins 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 muffins an absolute crowd-pleaser.
How To Customize Your Cheese Muffins?
Greens – From fresh spinach, kale, basil to coriander you can add any greens of your choice in these muffins.
Vegetables – Grated zucchini, carrot, broccoli or chopped mushrooms any easy to cook vegetables are perfect for these savory muffins. Sun-dried tomatoes are a great addition as well in these muffins.
Meat: These cheese muffins can be turned into meat lovers paradise by adding bacon, chopped ham, prawns, or cooked chicken. So take your pick!
Cheese: Any variety of hard cheese such as cheddar, gouda, or processed pizza cheese is suitable for these muffins.
Seasoning: Add a dash of chopped garlic for the extra kick in the flavor. Or add a mix of dry herbs such as oregano, sage, and black pepper.

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 muffins in the microwave for 1 – 2 minutes before serving.

Hi Hina, amazing recipies yet simple. Any substitute to eggs? My mom doesn’t eat eggs I want to make something for her…
Thank you. Keep up the good work.

You can use 1/4 cup yogurt or curd instead of one egg.
hi Hina, Can we use wheat flour in place of maida? or half maida half wheat flour?
I would suggest half maida half wheat flour not 100% wheat flour.
