Savory Muffins : tomato & goat cheese



A savory sweet to bring for a snack or a lunch break, it goes great with greens, salad etc...
I took that recipe from "Delectation culinaire"'s blog



  Réalisation    I had never tried a savory muffins... well, it's exactly like a sweet one ! 
Easy, quick and you can adapt the recipe according to your tastes.
The longest part is to chop the goat cheese and remove the tomato seeds, but that's optionnal.
I had a little problem with the original recipe, I had to put one more egg in the mix. You may have the same issue as me.

  Dégustation    Texture is really light and fluffy :) Absolutely delicious and with a lot of flavours.

  Conclusion     This recipe could be a cake instead of a muffin, but a muffin shap is cuter, right ?
