I didn't mind them but everyone else did Very practical muffin but needed a bit more flavour either in spices or add more cheese. The fact that they are not sweet disappointed others but I was fine with it. I will make these again but with some changes. Pros: Complete breakfast in one muffin great for work! Cons: could use more flavour more cheese
Yum! Didn't have scallions so I used a combo of red onion and leeks and carmelized them first! I also added some fresh jalapenos for a little kick! Only thing I'll try next time is more cheese...it kind of got lost! Super easy nice alternative to sweet muffins Pros: Quick Easy
we used cooked bacon instead of canadian and substituted diced green chilis for the pepper. then we paired these with the mini quiches. we opened the muffins and put the quiches in the middle. great stuff. anonymous fairfield ca
I thought these were a little bland. I want to try them again but next time I will sub stone ground cornmeal for 1/2 the whole wheat and use canned green chiles (medium not mild) in place of the red pepper. I also think you need to use extra sharp cheddar to get any taste of cheese in them. I think it's worth playing with these because they make such a great quick breakfast especially paired with the mini quiches also in this issue.
I made these substitutions because I didn't have all the ingredients: 1 cup each of rice plain & wholewheat flour regular bacon sweet marinated pepper strips (from a jar) leeks extra fresh pepper. It is a keeper! The hardest part was waiting the 5 minutes to cool them! cut up really really small for a better flavor infusion Sarah Schuylerville NY
Well the muffin was disappointing. I like the texture the whole wheat flour was definitely a plus on that. It did seem bland - in fact my husband hated them. I didn't think they were too bad. Probably won't make again. jennifer KY
These "savoury scones" are very popular in New Zealand and are part of the staple down there. We eat them with butter and they are plain that's the way they are supposed to be. North American's are so used to sweet and over the top spice that I can understand how these would rate as needing some oomph!
Tasty but.... For my "Canadian bacon" I used the type similar to ham. Since I don't like red peppers I used a can of diced chiles which worked well. Previous reviews had mentioned not tasting the cheese. I used a cup of shredded sharp cheddar and still did not taste it. If I were given one of these muffins and didn't know there was cheese in it- I never would have guessed it but still enjoyed them. They were slighty disappointing knowing that there was cheese- and you couldn't taste it. Perhaps I'll try diced extra sharp cheddar next time. Pros: hearty filling
