Cheese Bread Muffins

Cheese Bread Muffins are great for any meal especially served with soups, stews, or your favorite chili recipe!

Of course, mom always added toppings little Italian herbs, more than one cheese, and even a little garlic flavor in her batter.

Even though we like ours with a little heat in the batter so we add a dash of red pepper flakes, you can adapt this recipe to how your family enjoys cheese bread.

These easy cheese muffins can also be baked in a loaf pan, a mini muffin pan for appetizers, or an individual muffin/cupcake pan.

They are so simple to mix together because there is no yeast in the batter the perfect quick bread!

Don't miss all the toppings to add these make the best little finger foods at your next family gathering, backyard barbecue, or game day party!
