Cheese and Veggie Muffins

A pleasant surprise and a great opportunity...

The plan was to make this with my 7 year old, but with all this cooking, my 3 year old has developed an ear for the sound of flour being poured. As soon as she walks by and sees a chair pulled up to the counter, she MUST be part of it: "Oh...Can I help?"

I think that if she hadn't helped, she would not even have taken the 2 "picky foodie" bites that she did take.

Cheese and Veggie Muffins

Great with a little butter or cream cheese. Very fluffy texture.

• 2 loose cups of grated cheese (Gruyere, mozzarella, cheddar or whatever you like)
• 2 cups of flour
• 2 1/4 tsp of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cup of milk
• 3/4 cup of corn kernels
• large handful of baby spinach/ chopped and fresh
• 1/2 zuchini shredded 
• pepper to taste
• can add a fresh basil leaf on top

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Mix flour, cheese, baking powder, salt and pepper, and veggies.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk.
• Make a well in the flour mixture, add all the other ingredients and mix until combined.
• Spoon into greased muffin tray, pop a basil leaf on top of each, and bake for 25 min. or until the tops are golden brown. 

Enjoy!
