Best Cream Cheese Garlic Muffins Recipes

GARLIC BREAD MINI MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, garlic powder and onion powder until blended. In another bowl, toss Colby-Monterey Jack cheese with Italian cheese blend., On a lightly floured surface, unroll breadstick dough; press perforations to seal. Roll dough to a 12x8-in. rectangle; cut dough lengthwise in half., Spread each 12x4-in. rectangle with half of the cream cheese mixture to within 1/4-in. of edges. Sprinkle each with half of the combined cheeses; roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Pinch seam to seal. Cut rolls into 1-in. slices., Place beaten egg and Parmesan cheese in separate shallow bowls. Dip a cut side of each slice in egg, then in Parmesan cheese; place slices in greased mini muffin cups, cheese side up., Bake until golden brown, 17-20 minutes. Serve warm.

SAVOURY CHEESE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/350F (standard) or 160C/320F (fan).
• Place butter and garlic in a microwave proof bowl and melt in 30 second bursts. Mix.
• Brush a 12 hole standard muffin tin generously with butter, being sure to slather with some garlic. Reserve some butter to brush tops.
• Whisk Dry ingredients in a bowl.
• Whisk Wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
• Pour Wet into the Dry ingredients bowl. Mix 8 times. Add cheese, mix as few times as possible just to incorporate remaining bits of flour - no more than 7 big stirs (secret to soft muffs).
• Divide between 11 holes in muffin in (I use an ice cream scooper). Batter should be thick and fill muffin tin to top (if in ball shape due to scooper, leave as is). See video.
• Bake for 22 - 25 minutes or until the muffins are golden and crusty and spring back when touched in the centre.
• Remove onto cooling rack, brush with remaining butter (microwave again if needed) and cool slightly before getting stuck into them!

• Fill dough into prepared muffin tins (well greased or paper-lined) and bake in the preheated oven at 200°C/400°F for 20 minutes or until well risen and golden bown.
