Best Thyme And Onion Muffins Recipes

SAVOURY CHEESE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/350F (standard) or 160C/320F (fan).
• Place butter and garlic in a microwave proof bowl and melt in 30 second bursts. Mix.
• Brush a 12 hole standard muffin tin generously with butter, being sure to slather with some garlic. Reserve some butter to brush tops.
• Whisk Dry ingredients in a bowl.
• Whisk Wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
• Pour Wet into the Dry ingredients bowl. Mix 8 times. Add cheese, mix as few times as possible just to incorporate remaining bits of flour - no more than 7 big stirs (secret to soft muffs).
• Divide between 11 holes in muffin in (I use an ice cream scooper). Batter should be thick and fill muffin tin to top (if in ball shape due to scooper, leave as is). See video.
• Bake for 22 - 25 minutes or until the muffins are golden and crusty and spring back when touched in the centre.
• Remove onto cooling rack, brush with remaining butter (microwave again if needed) and cool slightly before getting stuck into them!

CHEDDAR MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, Italian seasoning, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk egg, buttermilk, oil and garlic until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in cheddar cheese, onions, pepper and sun-dried tomatoes., Fill greased muffin cups three-fourths full. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm.

SAVOURY MUFFINS WITH FETA CHEESE, ONION AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• You will need a 12 hole mini-muffin tin.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add in the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes till its softened and then remove from heat and leave it to cool.
• Once cool, add in the chopped feta cheese and rosemary and season with freshly ground black pepper (there is no need for salt since feta cheese is quite salty by itself) and give it a good mix.
• Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6/400F/200°C.
• Next for the muffin base, sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl.
• In another bowl beat the egg, then add in the milk and give it a good whisk again.
• Next, pour the egg mixture into the flour, using minimum number of folding movements (you should finish folding in 15 seconds and ignore the lumps in the mixture - do not overmix).
• Now gently add the onion mixture into the muffin mixture, folding in, as before, with as few strokes as possible.
• Arrange the muffin cases into the muffin tins them spoon the mixture into them.
• You may even spoon the mixture straight into the tins but they will have to be well-greased.
• Beat the second egg and brush the muffin tops with it.
• Bake them in the centre shelf of the oven for about 20 minutes, or until well risen and golden.
• Remove the muffins from the tins and serve immediately.
