Corn and Cheese Muffin recipe is a savory baked treat loaded with cheese, sweet corn, and fresh basil. Corn and Cheese muffins are perfect for the evening tea-time snack along with a cup of coffee. Corn and Cheese Muffins can be served before dinner along with your favorite wine and some good pesto on the side. The Good Housekeeping has fascinated me since I was a teenager and started reading magazines, the beautiful pictures, amazing decoration ideas, handy kitchen tips and inspiring cover stories is the reason that even today after so many years it is still in my must read list. Recently, I bought The Good Housekeeping Cookbook – 125th Anniversary Edition, it has a collection of some 1275 recipes published all these years. The recipe is inspired from the section in the book called – ‘QuickBreads’.
The batter for this Corn Muffins can be prepared in no time and it can be baked into a single loaf as well. This is my first attempt at baking savory muffins and I am totally addicted to these cheesy little bites. The aroma of freshly plucked basil from the pot sitting in the kitchen window, the sweetness of the corn kernels and the hint of saltiness from the cheese make these muffins an absolute crowd pleaser. Knowingly I have kept the size of the muffins small to sneak them easily inside the lunchbox or snack box for the husband. Even while serving Corn and Cheese Muffins for the cocktail party, small size makes them a good choice to serve as finger food along with drinks.
