CHEESY GARLIC, HERB, PAPRIKA & TOMATO MUFFINS



Cheesy Garlic, Herb, Paprika & Tomato Muffins image

This muffin recipe is very simple, and produces a heap of tasty muffins that can be served either hot or cold. I prefer them hot, 5-10mins after they are pulled from the oven. They are perfect as a snack, lunch, brunch, afternoon tea, etc., and also particularly good for picnics (e.g. used as a substitute for bread, served alongside salads and cold meats). This recipe has by and large been taken from Alison Holst's cookbook "Meals Without Meat," however I have tweaked it here and there to improve the flavour :) Enjoy!

Time 22m

Yield 12 muffins, 6-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups grated cheese (cheddar preferable, however other mild-tasting cheeses would be suitable also)
1 1/2 cups self-raising flour (preferably wholemeal)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon raw sugar
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic granules
1 teaspoon dried herbs
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 tomatoes (each sliced into 6)
1 tablespoon melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 210°C.
  • Put the grated cheese, flour, salt, sugar, cayenne pepper, paprika, smoked paprika, garlic granules, and herbs into a large bowl.
  • Mix lightly with your fingertips to combine. Make a well in the center.
  • In another container, beat the egg and milk until evenly combined.
  • Pour all the liquid onto the dry ingredients.
  • Fold the two mixtures together, drawing in all the flour from the sides of the bowl until all ingredients are incorporated. Try not to overmix.
  • Grease your deep muffin pan well.
  • Spoon mixture off a tablespoon, helping it off with another spoon, into the pan. Fill each hole with as much as is needed to use up all of the batter.
  • Place a slice of tomato on top of each muffin. Lightly brush each slice with a little melted butter or oil.
  • Sprinkle with additional salt, cheese or paprika if desired.
  • Bake at 210C for about 12 minutes, or until tomato slices are cooked (they'll look a bit shrivelled), muffins spring back when pressed, and muffins look golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and set aside to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from pan.
  • To easily remove from pan, slide a butterknife around the sides of each muffin, and then lift. Tip: If muffins are stuck, put a plate or rack on top of muffin tray and flip tray over. Smooth a wet teatowel or sponge over the base of each muffin cavity for 1 or so minutes, then give the tray a light shake. Keep spongeing and lightly shaking until all muffins have come out. This method should release your muffins from their tray without breaking.
  • Serve!

SAVORY HERB MUFFINS



Savory Herb Muffins image

These muffins are really good and different. Everybody at work just loved them and wanted the recipe. I got this from another Wal-Mart recipe card (usually in the produce section).

Provided by Starlita

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
2 teaspoons savory
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon rind, of grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray 12 standard-size muffin cup pan with cooking spray.
  • Add dry ingredients to large bowl and stir to blend well.
  • Mix buttermilk, eggs, sour cream and oil in medium bowl to blend.
  • Add herbs and lemon peel.
  • Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture, do not over mix.
  • Drop batter into prepared muffin pan.
  • Brush tops lightly with melted butter.
  • Bake muffins 15 minutes, brush tops again with butter.
  • Continue baking until golden on top about 12 minutes longer.
  • Turn muffins out onto cake rack.
  • Serve warm with cream cheese.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Chop the tomatoes into small pieces so that they distribute evenly throughout the muffins.
  • Use a variety of herbs to flavor the muffins. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Use grated Parmesan cheese for a cheesy flavor and texture. You can also use shredded mozzarella cheese or feta cheese.
  • Be sure to grease the muffin tins before filling them with batter. This will help the muffins to come out of the tins easily.
  • If you are using a muffin pan with nonstick coating, you may not need to grease the tins.
  • Fill the muffin tins about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins will overflow.
  • Bake the muffins at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Tomato herb muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are packed with flavor from the fresh tomatoes, herbs, and cheese. These muffins are also a good source of vitamins and minerals. Serve them warm or at room temperature. You can also freeze the muffins for later use.
