FETA CHEESE AND SCALLION MUFFINS WITH ROSEMARY
These muffins are a nice savoury version of the old classic. They have a mediterranian edge to them and go great with soups and stews. If you like, experiment with the type of cheese used (goats cheese would be nice, too) and adjust the herbs and spices to your liking. This recipe is very flexible, so have fun. :)

FETA 'N' CHIVE MUFFINS
This is a "spring" variation on the savory muffins my husband has made for years. It has a light texture almost like a popover and tastes best eaten hot right from the oven. -Angela Buchanan, Boulder, Colorado

SAVORY MUFFINS WITH GOAT CHEESE, ROSEMARY AND KALAMATA OLIVES
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!

- 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:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your muffins taste their best. Look for ripe vegetables, herbs, and cheese.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups evenly: This will help the muffins bake evenly.
- Bake the muffins at the right temperature: The muffins should be baked at a moderate temperature (350°F) so that they have time to rise and cook through without overbrowning.
