Hello lovelies,
I was sitting looking for inspiration on what to bake next when I got this sudden urge to make something savoury. Not anything like a dinner but a savoury snack that can be kept for a few days and be eaten whenever & wherever I like.
That’s when I came across a recipe that used both cheddar cheese and red peppers to make a batch of muffins. As you can imagine, that got my creative juices flowing and I just had to make them for myself.
I’ve mentioned this a few times now but I’m a savoury girl through and through, give me anything and I mean anything with cheese on or in and I’ll be your best friend for life. So, I knew instantly that these muffins would be the savoury snack I’d been craving.
I followed the basics steps of this recipe {https://www.amummytoo.co.uk/red-pepper-and-cheese-savoury-muffins-perfect-packed-lunch-treat/} but made it my own by taking away or adding ingredients. You know me, I like to have a play about and see what works best and todays muffins have become a firm favourite in my household.
Not only is it me itching to eat the entire lot in one sitting, it’s also my family who helped demolish them – that’s when you know a recipes good.
So if you love the heavenly combination of cheese and red peppers, you have no choice but to try these asap! Believe me, you’ll LOVE.
