Savory Italian Cupcakes with Goat Cheese Frosting image

This is an incredible side dish-- consider it a whimsical bread, but it's so different and hearty that you could also have it for breakfast or lunch. Easy to store in the fridge and grab one for a snack on the go, too.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 c flour
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp dried, crushed rosemary
1 Tbsp dried basil
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 c milk
1/4 c bottled pesto sauce
1/4 c cold butter, chopped
1 large egg
1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
2 c chopped, cooked sausage
1 c sliced olives
1/2 c chopped sun dried tomatoes
1 c crumbled goat cheese, at room temperature
1 tsp dried basil
2 Tbsp cream

Steps:

  • 1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with liners. Mix the first five ingredients (flour through baking powder) in a bowl. With electric mixer, combine with 1/4 cup butter to form coarse crumbs. Stir in mozzarella cheese, sausage, olives, and tomatoes.
  • 2. 2. In a small bowl, combine milk, pesto, and egg, then add to crumb mixture all at once. Stir quickly with a fork to moisten. Spoon into prepared muffin cups. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes.
  • 3. 3. Make the "frosting." Let the goat cheese crumbles come to room temperature. In a bowl, mix the goat cheese, basil, and cream until smooth consistency, adding more cream if too thick. Pipe or spread frosting over cooled cupcakes and top with a slice of sausage, tomato, or a basil sprig, if desired.
