Description

These Parmesan Pesto Muffins are so savory and loaded with Italian flavor! They’re perfect for breakfast or on the side of a main course.

Ingredients

  • 1-¾ cup All-purpose Flour
  • ¾ cups Medium Ground Corn Meal
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Truffle Salt
  • 1 cup Milk
  • ½ cups Olive Oil
  • ½ cups Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese, Plus Additional For Sprinkling On Top
  • 3 Tablespoons Basil Pesto Sauce, Either Jarred Or Homemade
  • 2 whole Eggs

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a 12-well muffin tin with paper liners. Combine flour, corn meal, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk them together to aerate them. Combine milk, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, pesto sauce and eggs in another bowl and whisk those wet ingredients together until smooth. Pour wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and whisk together until you have a thick batter.

Scoop a heaping 1/4 cup of batter into each lined muffin well. Bake muffins for about 15 minutes, until puffy and baked through. Insert a toothpick in the center of a few to make sure they are done. It should come out cleanly. Sprinkle additional grated Parmesan on the muffins while they are still warm. Let them cool, then serve immediately!

Don’t know what truffle salt is, so I just used some applewood-smoked sea salt. They turned out great!
