Never have I EVER tested a recipe as many times before posting it as I have done with these Cheese & Sweet Corn Savoury Muffins. It’s a hard job, but someone has to do it, right? I knew that they had the promise of being something wonderful. A pocket of sweet, salty, cheese goodness, waiting to be eaten warm with a hunk of butter. It took a lot of tries but HERE WE ARE MY FRIENDS. Finally, what I think, is the BEST Savoury Muffin recipe. Let this be a lesson to us all. If at first you don’t succeed aim for more cheese. Here’s why I think you’ll love them: ✅ Really easy to pull together batter. ✅ The freeze brilliantly, perfect to pull out for packed lunches, picnics or breakfasts. ✅ Kids LOVE them. Ready for the next photo..? YESSSS. Everything is better with butter.
So in this recipe, I’ve kept the Savoury Muffins vegetarian and packed them with corn and cheese. There’s heaps of other options though:
Variations on the recipe:
Bacon and Cheese Muffins – Add pieces of fried bacon. Savoury Muffins for Kids – If these are for very young children you can omit the salt. (They will be a little bland though, so do leave in if adults are eating these.) Spanakopita Muffins – Use spinach and feta in place of sweetcorn and cheddar. Cheese and Tomato Muffins – Add halved cherry tomatoes.
How to make these Savoury Muffins:
Mix your dry ingredients together in one bowl, and your wet ingredients in another. Combine it all together, mix until totally combined and scoop into an oiled muffin tray. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden and DELICIOUS smelling.
What can I do with these DELICIOUS Savoury Cheese Muffins?
Cool them and pack into Tupperware or a sandwich bag and freeze for another day. Serve in packed lunch boxes. Have warmed in the microwave for 30 seconds, with a dollop of butter as an afternoon snack (my PERSONAL fave) Take on a picnic instead of soggy sandwiches. Serve as a breakfast on the go.
Top tips for making these muffins:
Do use strong cheese, it gives all of the flavour. Allow the muffins to cool on a rack if you have one, it will stop them going soggy. I tend to store in the fridge, as they are quite dairy heavy. They are more tasty to eat at room temperature or BEST warm, blast them for 30 seconds in the microwave if possible. If you don’t have fresh chives, you can substitute in a finely chopped onion. You can use muffin cases in the tin, but I find that as long as I oil and use a non stick muffin tin, they come out fine. Getting them out of paper muffin cases is much harder!
