A savory muffin is always a very welcome break between the cakes and cookies and innumerable sweet muffins recipes that I’ve tried over the last couple of years.
Today’s recipe is adapted from food.com – I used caramelized onions and mushrooms; added tiny tiny cubes of cheese instead of parmesan so that it would melt in your mouth and finally flavored it with a dash of pepper and freshly chopped basil. If you’re not watching your weight, I fully recommend adding a couple of rashes of bacon too.
I can hardly wait till the end of this Monday, so that I have these delicious muffins for dinner along with a warm bowl of soup before calling it a day and curling up with a book.

- 2½ cups self-raising flour
- ⅔ cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 3 tablespoons basil (heaped, finely chopped fresh)
- 15 mushrooms (medium size diced and sauteed)

- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 2 mushrooms (extra finely sliced)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
- Whisk the milk, egg and oil in a jug. set aside.
- Sift the flour into a bowl and add the cheese, basil , onions and mushrooms.
- Make a well in the centre and gently pour in milk, egg and oil mix and fold gently to combine (the batter should still be lumpy).
- Divide the mixture between the 18 paper patty pans and top with slices of the extra mushroom.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a skew inserted through the centre comes out clean.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

These muffins and a bowl of soup would be heavenly!
I love making savory muffins…and these look perfect. I know Ryan and I would have a hard time not eating the entire batch! Thank you for sharing!
Mmm…I love eating savoury muffins but I’ve never made them myself. You’re inspiring me to make these, An! The possibilities are endless but the one thing I think every savoury muffin needs is that rasher of bacon you mentioned ;)
I love all the different varieties of savory muffins I have found lately. Your recipe sounds wonderful, and love the addition of basil! Hugs, Terra
