How To Make Savoury Muffins

Ingredients

Making savoury muffins is pretty simple and doesn't require a lot of ingredients. Here are the things you need: 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of buttermilk, 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1 cup of grated cheese and 1/2 cup of diced ham. You can also add some herbs and spices to give it an extra kick. For this recipe we’ll use 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder and 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the cheese and ham. Divide the batter among the muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Savoury muffins are delicious as an appetizer or snack. They can also be served with a salad or soup. You can also top them with some extra cheese or herbs for a delicious and flavourful bite. For a heartier meal, you can serve them alongside a light pasta dish.

Variations

If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitute by combining 1/2 cup of milk with 1 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. You can also switch up the meat or cheese to make different variations. Try bacon and cheddar, sausage and mozzarella, or ham and Swiss. You can also experiment with different herbs and spices to find the perfect flavour combination.
