Cheesy Mushroom Herb Muffins – A Little Sweet Life
When you think of muffins, you rarely think of savory, but I wanted to prove that a savory muffin can be just as delicious as a sweet one. I definitely succeeded with this recipe. I love the taste and smell of biscuits and baking these reminded me of that smell. The sauteed onion and mushrooms give these muffins they’re distinct flavor and the grated cheese and dried dill brings it all together. They’re amazing served as is, but if you want to indulge, spread a little butter on top! These are the perfect addition to any brunch, family breakfast or even as a snack!

Add mushrooms and continue to cook for about 10 minutes or until mushrooms are soft. Taste for salt and pepper and add more if desired. Once mushrooms are cooked remove lid and turn heat to low to let some of the water evaporate. You don’t want excess water in your muffins.

- In the meantime, in a large bowl mix your flour, baking powder, baking soda, dried dill, and shredded cheese.
- In a small bowl whisk eggs. Add milk and butter and mix. Add mushrooms and mix.
- Add the above mixture to the flour mixture and using a spatula, gently fold until moistened.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup mixture into each liner.
- Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned on top and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and cool on wire rack for a few minutes. Remove from trays and continue to cool on rack. Make sure to let them cool completely before removing the paper liners or they’ll stick.
