This is my first time making savory muffins, it is actually a great snack for my kid lunchbox! It is easy and fast to make because it doesn't require the electric mixer ^^ The original recipe asked to use a type of vegetable called Swiss chard which I don't have. I replaced it with whatever vegetable I have in my fridge. The taste of this savory muffin is so delicious with feta and Parmesan cheese in it!
When I watched my son eating the vegetable muffins I laughed loud inside my heart until the moment he asked me "what is the green things mummy?", it was already the third one! I told him "vegetable!"
第一次烘焙咸满芬才发现它可是不错的小点心哟！我儿子本来就很喜欢吃奶酪，在满芬里又加了疏菜，食物的营养成份有加分呢！看着他不停的吃着疏菜奶酪满芬，我心里在偷笑。。。！I'm linking this post to Little Thumbs Up (May 2014: Milk) hosted by Tze of Awayofmind Bakery House(Me ^.^)Note to make a lovely muffin:Don't over mix the batter!
