Hey! It’s Susannah from Feast + West. I have a new obsession I want to tell you about.
Savory muffins.
Everyone loves sweet muffins with bits of blueberries or chocolate chips in them, but these bite-size breakfast bites are an amazing, life-changing recipe. Soft, warm and filled with sweet and salty flavors, you’re going to love these Apple Cheddar Muffins.
They’re a cinch to whip up for breakfast, brunch or teatime, but you could totally serve them alongside a hearty soup dinner or as a side dish at a barbecue. The bite of the cheddar and the sweetness of the apples will liven any plate. Enjoy!
P.S. Intrigued by savory muffins? I’ve got another recipe for you: Fig, Onion + Honey Muffins over on Feast + West today!
For a hearty supper, try these with a bowl of creamy broccoli soup. For a light lunch, they can be served with a salad. For breakfast they are delicious served hot with berry preserves.

- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
- 1 cup roughly grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped Granny Smith apple, with peel (about one large apple)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 stick (2 oz) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.Grease 12-18 muffin cups. Foil or paper muffin liners can be used
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add pepper, if desired, cheese and apple. Use your fingers to evenly mix all the ingredients together.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg, gradually adding the melted butter and milk.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the egg mixture into the well, and gently incorporate the dry ingredients with a spatula until the mixture is all lightly moistened.
- Scoop the batter into the muffin pan. Bake for 20 minutes, until tips are browning and the muffins spring back when lightly touched in the center.
- Turn onto a wire rack to cool a bit before serving.
