Cheese and zucchini muffins
Moist, vegetable muffins with cheese and zucchini are an idea for a quick and tasty snack that can be easily served for lunch, breakfast, dinner and almost for any party. Making savoury muffins takes about 10 minutes plus baking time, of course, a total of just over 30 minutes. To prepare these tasty muffins, you need hard cheese, red onion, zucchini with the skin on but seedless – if you only have older zucchini that contains seeds, then these seeds should be removed before grating the vegetable.
After cutting and grating the ingredients, make a batter from eggs, yoghurt and flour – the batter should have a smooth, uniform consistency. Add spices, vegetables and cheese into the batter, mix and when ready, fill the muffin cups with it. Bake until golden brown and serve after cooling down or when still slightly warm. I encourage you to check for the following recipe for muffins with cheese and zucchini and please enjoy.
