I was always looking out for a good cheese muffin recipe. Something that is savory, buttery, and cheesy all at once. Obviously, the search has ended with this recipe.
Oh, It was my birthday last week. 2nd November to be exact. Had a small hotpot/bbq with the family. Small and cozy, pretty much perfect. I also had like 9 birthday cakes in total. My mantra is, the number of cakes you get on your birthday is a sign of how well-loved you are. Don’t feel unloved if you only had one cake on your birthday. I’ve no intention of planting that idea in your head. Although I had a whole lot of cakes, I didn’t really eat much. I mostly shared it around. I still have slices of the ice cream cakes in the freezer, for me to savor throughout November.
Also, I wanna say a shoutout to my best friend, TM. His bday was 2 days after mine. Happy Birthday, TM! Thank you for always being the first to read my blog post and also the first to like my youtube videos too. You are the best.
Anyways, So here I am presenting these Soft Cheese Muffins to you. A harmonious combination of cheddar, garlic, and butter; you know basically all the good kinds of stuff! Best of all, it’s so simple to make. Plus points for being effortless! I also love how soft these muffins are. No one appreciates the muffins that are hard and can be used as a tennis ball instead.
There are so many possibilities with this recipe. I can imagine you adding bacon, sundried tomatoes, or even feta to these!! In fact, if you are a fan of the sweet + salty combo, I reckon you can give these muffin tops a good brush of honey or maple syrup as well.
Do give these Soft Cheese Muffins a try. Golden crusty tops and fluffy moist insides, I promise this is going to be a hit with everyone. Make an extra batch and keep it in the fridge. Just pop these in the microwave or toaster and breakfast is served!
I hope you enjoy this recipe and please leave your feedback if you bake these!
