Freezer-Friendly

Cheese and herb muffins can be made in advance and stored in the freezer for later use.

When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply thaw them in the refrigerator or microwave and warm them up in the oven or microwave for a delicious and convenient snack or meal.

In addition to cheese and herbs, you can customize cheese and herb muffins with other flavorful additions such as cooked bacon or ham, chopped vegetables, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or nuts. These additions can add extra texture, flavor, and nutritional value to the muffins, allowing you to tailor them to your personal preferences.
