Unlike many carb-heavy muffins, these muffins are equal parts flour and cottage cheese/egg whites. The flour gives the muffins a bread-like texture, while the combination of egg whites and cottage cheese gives the muffins their light and fluffy consistency.

Savoury Cottage Cheese Muffins are flavour packed. The cottage cheese dough is infused with basil, which perfectly balances the sun-dried tomatoes and sautéed mushrooms and onions that are mixed throughout.

Sautéing the mushrooms and onions truly impacts the flavour of the muffins. It allows the mushrooms to release some of their water and develop a sharper flavour. While the onions become sweeter and have a less biting taste. Together, the mushrooms and onions, both soften and amplify the flavour of the muffins.

With a balance of cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and basil, these muffins have a focaccia bread flavour. Combining the onions and mushrooms with sun-dried tomatoes not only adds texture to the muffins, it also increases the savoury, pizza-like flavour.
