Rise and shine with a savory muffins breakfast. Try a savory twist on breakfast muffins with these Sun Dried Tomato Corn Muffins.
This month, Recipe ReDux members were challenged to create new healthy takes on eating savory or dinner-inspired dishes for breakfast.
Growing up in an Italian family, bread was accompanied with dinner on the side with any dish. We did eat a lot of Italian dishes growing up, so fresh Italian bread was typically served with those dinners. The times we strayed away from our Italian roots, there was still bread on the table and often cornbread since that was one of my sister’s favorites.
I remember not thinking some of the dinners didn’t pair well with the sweet corn bread, so I took the opportunity with this challenge to change it up a little and create a savory corn muffin.
These savory corn muffins were great on their own. I also melted a little cheddar cheese on top. My mind instantly started thinking of recipes to pair these muffins with, like a hearty soup, chili, or sauteed collard greens. These would even be great cut up and turned into a savory corn bread stuffing.
Do you prefer savory or sweet corn muffins?

These look so good! I only have cornflour. I wonder if it’ll work the same as corn meal? Anyways, I love cornbread muffins in general and I love sundried tomatoes with everything. So I’m sure combined, they taste like heaven in your mouth! I pinned the photos for later 🙂
These look fantastic! I am a cornbread lover, so any chance to eat the tasty stuff (even if it’s savory!) sounds fantastic!
Cornbread is such a simple but scrumptious recipe! So glad you found a way to make them more savory!
i love sundried tomatoes in pasta and made corn bread long time ago..love the idea of muffins, so portable…
