A break from all the sweet muffins and the super indulgent holiday series is much welcome this week. This Monday’s muffin comes from BBC Good Food – an Onion and Triple Cheese Muffin. Since it were the words ‘triple cheese’ that drew me to the recipe in the first place, there was no way I was going to change that aspect.
And then there was that question of bacon, the one thing that you can’t ever get enough of in a savory muffin.
Do you remember the bacon crumble I added onto the Cheddar Bacon Crumble Muffin? That would have been perfect. But I’d run out and had to substitue it with smoked chicken sausages instead. I also switched the green onions for caramelized onions and am happy to report that this probably works better…
So there you have it – Caramelized Onions + Smoked chicken sausages + Triple Cheese – a perfect – if slightly indulgent – breakfast on the go!
- 150ml sunflower oil , plus extra for the tin
- 1 large egg
- 284ml carton buttermilk , made up to 350ml with milk
- 500g selfraising flour
- 1 tsp English mustard powder
- 140g mature cheddar , grated
- 1 onion , sliced and caramelized
- 2-3 smoked chicken sausages, chopped and sautéed
- small bunch chives , snipped
- 25g Parmesan (or vegetarian
- alternative), grated
- 200g fullfat soft cheese,
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and oil a 12hole muffin tin.
- In a measuring jug, whisk the oil, egg and buttermilk. Set aside
- In a mixing bowl, mix the flour, 1 tsp salt and mustard powder, then stir in the cheddar, caramelized onions, chives, sausages and half the Parmesan.
- Use a large spoon to gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry don’t overmix, just lightly combine.
- With the final few folds, mix in the soft cheese cubes. Spoon the mixture between the holes in the tin (they will be quite full), scatter with the
- remaining Parmesan and bake for 25 mins.

Great minds, Anuradha! I always knew I liked you but I like you even better, if that’s possible, this week. Yum to the sausages and triple cheese!
I adore caramelized onions! And what’s not to like about smoked sausage? These sound so savory and so delicious. Lovely!
Thank you for continuing to push the boundaries of muffins! These look so incredible.
Savoury muffins. I’ll consider this as a meal! Yum!
You blow me away all the time with your amazing #MuffinMonday creations and this one is no different. You’ve taken breakfast and stuffed it into one decadent, fabulous muffin. This would be dangerous for me to have around…it wouldn’t last long, that’s for sure!
