I am one of those strange people who doesn't like muffins too much. I make them, but I prefer cupcakes. It's the texture that I am not a fan of, but savoury muffins are a different story. I absolutely adore them. Soft, warm, gooey and always different. Ham and Cheese muffins. Salmon and Dill. Bacon and Onion. Or... Cheese and Herbs maybe? Why not?
