Savory Winter Squash Muffins
My old friend Christine turned me on to this wonderful recipe for Pumpkin and Feta Muffins over at 101 cookbooks that she made for her CSA potluck. I had some time today so I thought I would give them a try. My only problem was I didn’t have any feta, parmesan or sunflower seeds so I made them with some smoked organic cheddar I had lying around and left out the sunflower seeds. I also used Delicata Squash instead of Acorn. My variation was pretty darn good (pictured above) and the smokiness of the cheddar made them smell like bacon when I pulled them out of the oven. I can’t wait to go shopping and try the real deal though.
Yay! I’m glad they turned out. I’ve made them twice and found the recipe to be super flexible. I followed the recipe the first time (but used butternut squash, not pumpkin). But the second time, I didn’t have the sunflower seeds or cilantro, but I had arugula from the CSA. Turned out great. Though I found that I liked them better when I added a bit of curry powder, more salt, and red pepper.
I’m glad you tried them though!
They were good. I can see many variations of these in my future. I’ll have to try it with arugula that sounds delicious.
