Sea salt & black pepper: Enhances all the flavors. Bringing a balanced seasoning.

Tip:

To elevate your Homemade Savory Cheddar Muffins. Don’t skimp on the freshly grated cheese. Freshly grate your cheddar from a block. Rather than using pre-shredded cheese. Makes a huge difference. In meltability and flavor. Additionally, bring all your wet ingredients. To room temperature before mixing. This small step ensures that the batter mixes more evenly. And prevents overworking. Which can result in dense muffins. For an extra golden top. Brush the muffins with a little melted butter. Halfway through baking. This not only adds flavor. But also gives them a beautiful, appetizing color.
