Cheesy Garlic Bread Puffs! So easy and Oh so good!


That's right - Cheese, Garlic, Parmesan, Basil....YUM!

Need I say more? I didn't think so!

Cheesy Garlic Bread Puffs

Ingredients:

3/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 scant tablespoon oregano
2-3 garlic cloves crushed and minced
2 tablespoons fresh basil - chopped finely   OR   1 tsp dry basil
pinch of salt
3/4 cup milk - I used fat free and it was great but if you have a higher fat milk - Use it
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese - Its creamy and has good flavor. You can use other cheeses but they may not go well with the marinara.
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese - from the can or fresh grated, either will taste great!
Your favorite marinara sauce for dipping!

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Grease a 12 cup muffin pan - Seriously grease it or use cupcake liners.

3. In a large bowl or mixer with paddle attachment, whisk flour, baking powder, oregano, salt, basil, garlic together.
4. Whisk the milk and egg, add to the flour mixture.

5. Stir in the Cheeses, continue to stir to make sure the batter is fully mixed together - don't over do it!

6. Divide the batter among the muffin cups.


7. Bake until puffed and lightly golden and the shine is lost - about 20 to 25 minutes. It really depends on your oven - Whats more important than time is the way it looks, these don't get much color so you may also want to pat the top to see if it bounces back - if it doesn't, and falls - keep baking!

8. Warm up your marinara sauce
9. Enjoy dipping your cheesy garlic bread puffs in the marinara sauce and wish you made a triple batch!
