Savory Lemon, Herb & Parmesan Muffins

Savory Lemon, Herb & Parmesan Muffins

Most of us think of muffins as a sweet breakfast treat, but that’s not all the muffin can be. This version is savory, lit up with the tangy taste of lemon and herbs, and rich Parmesan cheese. Bake them up for a delicious breakfast or brunch item, or a flavorful accompaniment to soups and stews. They also make a great snack all on their own.
