How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the sugar, butter and oil. Add the egg and beat the mixture until fluffy and light-colored. Sift the dry ingredients together and add them to the mixing bowl alternately with the milk. Fold in the grated cheddar.
  • Butter a muffin tin, or spray it with oil, and half-fill each of the muffin cups with batter. Press a cube of cream cheese into each, and top with a spoonful of apricot jam. Cover with the remaining batter so no jam or cream cheese is visible. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 400 degrees until the top bounces back when you press your finger on the surface.

    I just wanted to let you know that on the Modcloth Blog, I made a comment on a muffin recipe about my new favourite breakfast muffin (this one!) and linked to this recipe. The comment can be found under the name "Lauren Helen":

    The next month for a muffin recipe, they did a muffin inspired by your recipe, which can be found at:

    I just felt you deserved to know how much everyone seems to love this one x)

    " It was good "

    Made it exactly, minus the jam. Got awful low on batter covering up the cream cheese. A nice savory muffin that should be eaten sipping on a glass of milk.
    My muffins turned out exactly as the picture.
