Cheese and Spinach Muffins
Make a batch of these cheese and spinach muffins when you want to enjoy a muffin that's not sweet. Savory muffins are perfect as a bread substitute with a pot of chili, soup or stew, or as a snack or breakfast muffin.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups milk, or milk substitute
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 2 to 3 tablespoons red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup spinach, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
- In a large bowl, beat together the milk, butter and egg. Stir in the flour, Parmesan cheese, green onions, red pepper, baking powder and salt. Mix it together just until the flour is moistened. Don't beat it or over mix or you will have muffins that are more tough than tender.
- Fold the spinach and Swiss cheese into the batter. Divide the batter evenly among greased muffin cups, filling each of them until it is almost full.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes.
