Easy cheese muffins
During the hot days of the summer break I’m always on the hunt for easy recipes that you just have to mix and put in the oven. In other words, I want to make something tasty, but I don’t want to work hard for it.
One of my favorite recipes is cheese muffins. They’re stuffed with different cheeses, pretty much whatever you have in your fridge. I love using salty cheeses in baked goods, their flavor works really well in the pastry. I love tasting the bold flavors when I take a bite.
I think that the best compliment I got for these muffins were from the kids.
They were very impatient while I took photos of the muffins and as soon as I finished, they devoured them all!
You can make these up to two days in advance, and to be honest, they taste great straight out of the fridge as well.
A perfect recipe for lunch or supper when you want something yummy that your family will love.
Serve with cut veggies with slices of Bulgarian cheese or feta, and drizzle a bit of olive oil and za’atar. Heaven.
