These muffins really appeal to me. One, because of the onions, two, the seasonings and three, the glorious cheese! They are perfect with a hearty bowl of chili, a healthy serving of beef stew or with your favorite soup. These muffins are so easy to prepare and are packed full of flavor. Give them a try tonight!
Saute, 1/2 of a medium sized onion, sliced thin a 1 tablespoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of butter.
Once the onions have turned golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside momentarily.
Empty one package of Jiffy Corn Muffin mix (don't judge me - this is good stuff and I'll take all the help I can get) into a mixing bowl, along with the onions, 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese (pepper jack cheese would totally rock here too) and 1-1/2 tablespoons of Emeril's Essence, 1/3 cup of butter milk (or regular milk) and 1 egg. You can change things up and use your seasoning of choice. A good garlic bread seasoning would be awesome too!
Thoroughly combine all of the ingredients and allow the batter to rest for 3 or 4 minutes. Spoon the batter into each muffin cup to 3/4 full. Top with a little more shredded cheese and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
One the muffins have turned golden brown and the cheese has melted, remove from oven and allow to cool for about five minutes. Feast your eyes on these!
Don't tell anyone, but I never wait out the five minute waiting time.
Ummm, funny but my friend and I just made these last night! Great looking and yummy are yours! Ours were a litte crisp on the edges :)
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at another savory muffin recipe. I think I'll make them all! Autumn arrived in MN last night and it's time to fire up the stove. I will have happy diners tonight. any thanks.
ReplyDeleteThese are going on the menu for this weekend - I adore cornbread and the more cheese the better!
ReplyDeleteMmm, I love those caramelized onions in there!
ReplyDeleteYummy, I am making soup later this week and I am going to make these muffins to go along!
ReplyDeleteI doubt if I could wait the 5 minutes either. Those look and sound great.
ReplyDeleteI funny story about Travis, he was asked by a teacher what his most favorite thing I cooked for our family was??? All the wonderful recipes and home made cakes and cookies and I could just think of recipe after recipe that he could have said and what did he come up with, pray tell?????? Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix!!!!!!!!!! I was CRUSHED! And I've never forgotten either :) But guess what? he's a grown man now and I bet he would LOVE this version of Jiffy mix. I think I should try it next week for his birthday dinner :)
ReplyDeleteJiffy corn muffin mix is one of the great inventions of the modern world. Move over, Thomas Edison, you have serious competition here. this looks like a great dress up for the muffins!
ReplyDeleteHow was your rain this weekend?
The onions must make them so good.
ReplyDeleteOh Lady, now that's what I'm talking about. Give me one of those with my bowl of soup!

You Southern Belle! I gave cornbread my full attention one year, even buying a cast iron corn cob shaped muffin baking vessel...alas, I like it with chili, but the best it can taste, is by the recipe you picked!
ReplyDeletesavory and cheesy cornbread, hard to believe that somebody will say no to this
ReplyDeleteI love savory muffin recipes and this one is perfect. Cornbread and cheese is just irresistible. Have a great day.

ReplyDeleteAnything that has carmalized onions in it must be good. I am loving this corn muffin recipe.
ReplyDeletei haven't tried it in years, but honestly i grew up on that cornbread mix. these look yummy.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fabulous. What a great idea. My mom swears by Jiffy. It is most certainly chili season in Colorado, I'll serve these next time I make it.
ReplyDeleteYum Katherine... I'm definitely doing to try this one. I love that Jiffy Cornbread mix--better than any homemade I've ever made or eaten. That's because I enjoy sweet cornbread and the Jiffy satisfies that craving I have.
ReplyDeleteI have a Creamed Corn caserole using the Jiffy Cornbread. Heard of it???
Have a wonderful day.
Hugs,
Betsy
Judge you? Hell no! I could probably eat my weight in Jiffy corn muffins. What an awesome twist on the usual here, Katherine. I'm absolutely swooning. :)
