1 tablespoon butter

100 g feta cheese, chopped into small cubes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add in the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes till its softened and then remove from heat and leave it to cool.
  • Once cool, add in the chopped feta cheese and rosemary and season with freshly ground black pepper (there is no need for salt since feta cheese is quite salty by itself) and give it a good mix.

  • Next for the muffin base, sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl.
  • In another bowl beat the egg, then add in the milk and give it a good whisk again.
  • Next, pour the egg mixture into the flour, using minimum number of folding movements (you should finish folding in 15 seconds and ignore the lumps in the mixture - do not overmix).
  • Now gently add the onion mixture into the muffin mixture, folding in, as before, with as few strokes as possible.
  • Arrange the muffin cases into the muffin tins them spoon the mixture into them.
  • You may even spoon the mixture straight into the tins but they will have to be well-greased.

SAVORY MUFFINS WITH GOAT CHEESE, ROSEMARY AND KALAMATA OLIVES



Savory Muffins With Goat Cheese, Rosemary and Kalamata Olives image

Savory muffins to serve with soups, a big salad or on their own for healthy snacking. This recipe was in Pam Anderson's CookSmart column in the USA Weekend paper, Feb 20, 2009. If you want something delectable and nourishing and don't mind messing up four or more different bowls, this recipe is a lucious hit every time. I replace the sugar with agave or leave it out sometimes. These freeze fine, if well-packaged, to add quick pizzazz to a dinner for many or just take one out to reheat solo. I believe this is from her newest (fifth) cookbook called "The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating Great". Thank you, Pam!

Time 55m

Yield 12 large muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup crumbled goat cheese (about 4 1/2 ounces uncrumbled)
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1/2 cup chopped kalamata olive (or other greek black olives)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
10 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees and adjust oven rack to lower-middle position.
  • Prepare the first three ingredients and set aside.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer til fluffy.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk mustard and eggs together.
  • Beat the mustard-egg mixture into the sugar and butter mixture until pea-sized lumps form (wet ingredients).
  • Stir the Kalamata olives into the wet ingredients.
  • Stir the goat cheese and the rosemary into the dry ingredients.
  • Alternating by thirds, stir the dry ingredients and the yogurt into the wet ingredients until a very thick batter forms.
  • Lightly oil 12 large muffin tins of 1/2 cup capacity or four mini-muffin tins with vegetable oil or spray.
  • Divide batter evenly among the cups (a spring-action regular or mini ice cream scoop works). Muffin cups will be full.
  • Bake until golden brown about 25 minutes for large muffins or 10-12 minutes for the minis.
  • Cool slightly in the pan, then remove and serve!
  • ALTERNATE FLAVORING to sub for the first three ingredients are: 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1 tablespoon dried oregano and 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes. This combo was great, too!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Gather and measure all ingredients before you start cooking to ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process.
  • Goat Cheese: Use high-quality goat cheese that is soft and spreadable. You can use fresh or aged goat cheese, depending on your preference for flavor and texture.
  • Red Onion: Finely dice the red onion to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the muffins. Alternatively, you can use shallots or green onions.
  • Rosemary: Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor. Finely chop the rosemary leaves to release their aromatic oils.
  • Muffin Tins: Grease or line muffin tins with paper liners to prevent sticking. You can use regular-sized muffin tins or mini muffin tins, depending on your desired portion size.
  • Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the muffins in the oven, as baking times may vary depending on the size of your muffin tins and your oven's temperature. Use a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center of a muffin to check for doneness; it should come out clean.
