Savory Breakfast Muffins

I like them.But I think next time I will add some fresh herbs, for more flavor. I think these would be good service with over easy eggs to dunk into the yolk

I really like these. I added a bit more buttermilk and cheese. Thru are more like a biscuit than a muffin but I'm totally ok with that. Quick easy and filling for a morning on the go.

Very DryI wasn't expecting sweet but I sure wasn't expecting it to taste like sawdust either. I won't try these again.Pros: NoneCons: No flavor

DRY muffins I followed the recipe except changed the Canadian bacon to zesty sausage. Everything else the same and they came out soooooo dry. No one in my house will eat them so had to trash the entire batch. I don't recommend this recipe. Pros: Easy to assemble Cons: Very dry

Good Idea Poor Execution These make a much better biscuit than muffins. When I split them and added a scrambled egg and cheese it was a filing breakfast. By themseves they are really lacking in flavor and I used regular bacon. Maybe double the add in ingredients? I even added jalapeno to the mix. Honestly they make better drop biscuits with some sort of filing like eggs and ham for a completely filling breakfast. Pros: Savory Cons: Lacks any real flavor

Not goodThis recipe is a puzzle. The ingredients sound great, but somehow the combination turned out yuck! to me -- leaden and weird. (And no, I did not overmix them.) I made a batch, ate a fresh one ... not too great ... and froze the rest. I thought if I slathered them with butter and homemade preserves, that might do the trick, but no. I'm still on the search for a savory breakfast treat I can make the night or week before, but this ain't it.Pros: Good ingredientsCons: Turned out bad

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

Needs more salt? I liked this because I'm not really into sweet for breakfast. I'm a vegetarian, so I replaced the canadian bacon with gouda to try to get that smoky flavor. Totally didn't work- might try veggie bacon next time. I think the recipe could use more salt. Also, since I didn't taste any of the cheese I put in, I'm thinking about putting on top of the muffins before baking next time, instead of mixing it in.

Queston Can I use just All purpose flour or Self-rising flour? Pros: They look Yummy

When I took my first bite I said to myself "Where's the sweet?" I expected a muffin to be sweet. After eating one, I decided to try part of another with a tablespoon of All Fruit Blueberry (30 Cal/tbs). That did the trick. These could have been made as a bread instead of muffins, then sliced and toasted, served w/apple butter or jam.

Loved this muffin. Truly savory and not just a "bald cupcake!" I filled my standard-sized muffin tins full, but still need to use 18 muffin cups. I thought they were a nice sized serving that way anyway.

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!

I think these have the potential to be Awesome! They were a little bland. However, recipes can always be adjusted. I think next time I will saute my bacon, onion, and bell peppers in the olive oil and butter first. I will also add some fresh garlic and do half the cheese in pepper jack. I think this will make them even better!!

Absolutely loved them!

We made this for Christmas brunch. They were great reheated (made them one day ahead). Wonderful with cream cheese! We will definitely make them again.

Found this recipe in a newspaper, and I'm hooked! So much better than a "sweet" breakfast. Carla, Vashon, WA
