Freshly baked corn muffins and pimento cheese are hallmarks of the South. But instead of slathering our muffins with the creamy-sharp spread, we decided to stuff them with it. The cheesy center is a welcome surprise.

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups shredded sharp yellow Cheddar (about 8 ounces), at room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3 tablespoons finely chopped drained pimentos
2 tablespoons grated onion
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus more for dusting
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray, for coating the muffin tin
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg plus 1 yolk, lightly beaten together

Steps:

  • Stir together the Cheddar, cream cheese, pimentos, onion, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a mixing bowl until combined and creamy. Divide the cheese mixture into 12 heaping tablespoons and shape into balls. Chill the balls until firm and cold, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, butter and beaten egg and yolk in another medium bowl. Fold the egg mixture into the cornmeal mixture using a rubber spatula, mixing until a slightly lumpy batter just comes together.
  • Fill each prepared muffin tin cup about halfway full with some of the batter. Put a chilled cheese ball in each muffin cup, pushing down slightly so the batter swells up around the cheese. Top evenly with the remaining batter (each cheese ball will be completely covered) and dust lightly with cayenne. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup white cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup buttermilk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, cooled slightly
1 large egg
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line twelve 1/3-cup muffin cups with paper or foil liners. Stir first 6 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Whisk buttermilk, butter and egg in medium bowl to blend. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in grated cheddar cheese.
  • Divide batter equally among prepared muffin cups. Bake muffins until tops are golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in pan on rack 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh corn kernels. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Be sure to drain the corn well before adding it to the batter. This will help prevent the muffins from being too wet.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature (400°F) for the first 10 minutes. This will help them to rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These cheddar stuffed corn muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They're perfect for potlucks, picnics, or any other gathering. With their sweet corn flavor and cheesy filling, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give these cheddar stuffed corn muffins a try!
