Cheesy muffins with garlic and herbs are a fragrant and tender treat that embodies the best traditions of American baking. Their origin is linked to a love for airy and hearty snacks suitable for breakfasts and light bites. The combination of two types of cheese – hard cheese and mozzarella – creates a rich creamy flavor, while garlic and parsley add zest and freshness. The muffins are soft inside with a delicious crispy crust, and the melting mozzarella gives them a unique texture. They are perfect as a standalone snack or as an accompaniment to soups and salads. They can be served warm or chilled, enjoying the depth of flavor and pleasant aroma. These muffins are an ideal treat for those who appreciate cozy homemade baking with rich flavors.
