CAN YOU SEE MY MUFFIN TOP?
I'm a big fan of savory baking so I made these goat's cheese, rosemary and sundried tomato muffins recently and they turned out rather well. I actually deviated from the recipe slightly and made half with smoked cheddar instead of the goat's cheese, just for variety. They turned out a trifle heavy, but I might put that down to my over-enthusiastic mixing rather than the recipe; I suspect they may need a light hand. Still, they all got eaten in short order. These are best served warm with a dollop of butter.
NIGELLA'S CHRISTMAS MUFFINS

I found the recipe for these here and had to give them a try for Christmas morning, since they sounded so easy. They are as easy as they sound, and I thought they were delicious, in part because they're slightly savoury - if you're expecting ultra-sweet American style soft muffins, you'll be disappointed. But they are spicy and comforting and I love the crunchy sugar topping! They'd be great with some chunks of white chocolate added, if you want that extra sugar kick.
