PIMENTO CHEESE-STUFFED CORN MUFFINS
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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease the wells of a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the butter, oil and sugar together until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time and whisk to combine. In another medium bowl, whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, cayenne and salt to combine.
- Add half of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula to combine. Add the buttermilk and stir to combine, then add the remaining flour mixture and stir well to incorporate.
- Use a 1/4-cup scoop to divide the batter among the wells of the prepared muffin pan, filling each just over 3/4 of the way full. Press 1 cube of cheese into the center of each muffin, submerging it fully without reaching the bottom of the pan.
- Bake until the surface of the muffin springs back gently to the touch, 17 to 20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking. Let cool inside the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove from the pan. These muffins are best served immediately, warm, so the cheese inside is still gooey.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen crab meat. Fresh crab meat will give you the best flavor, but frozen crab meat is a good option if you don't have access to fresh crab. Be sure to thaw the frozen crab meat before using it.
- Don't overcook the crab. Crab meat is delicate and cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and rubbery.
- Use a light touch when mixing the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. The muffins will rise as they bake.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
Crab stuffed corn muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They're perfect for parties or potlucks. With their combination of sweet corn, savory crab, and creamy cheese, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
