Author Notes: Adapted from the corn muffin recipe on the Indian Head Cornmeal bag, I’ve turned the classic corn muffin into a cheesy, herby, savory treat that we should all eat for breakfast. —Posie (Harwood) Brien
Makes: 9 muffins
Ingredients
-
1
cup yellow cornmeal
-
1
cup all-purpose flour
-
1
tablespoon sugar
-
1
teaspoon salt
-
3
teaspoons baking powder
-
1
cup milk
-
1/4
cup oil
-
1
egg, beaten
-
1/2
cup crumbled feta cheese
-
1/2
cup chopped fresh herbs (I used parsley, rosemary, and thyme)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add the milk, oil, and beaten egg and stir to combine. Don’t overmix!
- Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. This will help the muffins dome better.
- Add the cheese and herbs and stir lightly to combine.
- Pour the batter into a greased muffin tin (or a tin lined with papers). Fill each one about halfway.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown on the tops. Let cool for a few minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
