Goat Cheese and Green Onion Mini Muffins

These savory little muffins with their tangy, warm, melty cheese are a little bit addictive. You pop one into your mouth and even if you leave the kitchen you suddenly find yourself beside them again 'trying' another one.

I made these for brunch and every single of them disappeared before the meal was over.

Making them is a snap. It's a basic muffin recipe with chopped green onion stirred in...

... And a dollop of goat's cheese added on top before baking. No need to use muffin papers, as long as you either grease the pan or spray them beforehand your muffins shouldn't stick.

They come out of the oven savory, tangy, and a little bit sweet at the same time. They are best served warm so I popped them in the microwave right before serving. It was a great addition to brunch but I can also see eating them with soups, chili, or even bringing them on picnics (can't wait for the warm weather!)
