Cheese Muffins

Cheese muffins can easily be substituted for bread rolls at dinner. Kids love ham and cheese muffins for breakfast. This recipe, which uses cake mix, is even faster to prepare. I use mozzarella cheese, but cheddar cheese is more common. Enhance this recipe with ham, pine nuts, bacon, or sausages.

Ingredients:
1 cup muffin mix*
1 tbs sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg
1 tbs chopped fresh chives
1/2 cup coconut milk or regular milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter

Directions;
Preheat oven to 400°.
Line 3 to 4 medium-sized muffin tins with paper liners.
In a mixing bowl combine cake mix, salt, sugar, and cheese.
In a Vitamix® or other blender, add milk, oil, and egg. Blend for 20 seconds.
Pour the egg mixture onto the dry ingredients and add chives. Gently mix until just combined (do not overmix).
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins. Use extra 2 tbs cheese to pour over the top.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until well risen. Serve.

 

*If cake mix is not available, use 1 cup of all-purpose flour and add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder.
