Savory muffins with peas, carrots, olives and cheese

 

For the craving moments ... For "something" more on your table ... For a quick snack at the office or at school ... Why not for breakfast or light lunch ...

I think they could fit in any time or occasion. What I'm talking about? I'm talking about the savory muffins recipe I'll share today.

The first time I made them was for a picnic party, since then they've found their place in our menus. They're easy to make, quick to be done and they disappear in no time.

I'm sure you will love them as we do.

 

 

Ingredients, as always, should be in room temperature. Extra care is needed with salt addition, since cheeses and olives are salty enough. If you don't have the time or the desire to do all things from scratch, use -canned peas which you have to drain -packed olives, ready cut in rounds. You could also add some corn kernels. Boil them by yourselves or use canned ones.

Use your imagination and taste and add/remove ingredients accordingly. This batter quantity will give you 18-20 muffins depending on how full you'll have the muffin cups.

Enjoy
