This title really is a little uninspiring considering just how delicious these muffins are, but unless I list all the deliciousnesss that goes into them I cannot think of a better name! This recipe came from a very generous person who offered to share the recipe they used when they did catering. It is so packed with a wide variety of ingredients I was wondering how the final result would turn out – and I was so impressed, they are light, delicious and totally good for you!
My savoury muffins are usually totally basic cheese and ham, maybe some spices thrown in but not very exciting at all. So when asked to make muffins for a morning tea recently I knew it was time to step outside my comfort zone and get some muffin recipes that are packed full of flavour. There are lots of ingredients for one little muffin but they all work so well together.
You can modify these to suit your tastes, different cheeses, go fancy or just use your basic strong cheddar cheese like Tasty, or add Feta, Gruyere or Gouda – whatever you like!

I make these constantly now, they are the best & you can swap out the veges, I have spinach going crazy in the garden, so it’s bacon, feta & spinach! Thanks!

Just wondering what I can substitute for the parsley? Can you use dry herbs?
justamumnz says
I used fresh coriander the other day and it was lovely. Otherwise if you only have dried use a small amount and perhaps cook it off first with the bacon to release the flavours 🙂
