It’s soup season, which means you’re going to love these Sun Dried Tomato Savory Muffins to go along! This Mediterranian-inspired easy recipe is baked with 2 kinds of cheese, garlic, olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, and herbs.
Sun Dried Tomato Savory Muffins
Serve these savory muffins with a hot bowl of soup like my mushroom soup, my easy to make cobb salad or a delicious plate of pasta with tomato and clam sauce. 
Or grab one for a quick snack! My favorite way to enjoy them is to slather it with garlic butter, but you can eat them plain if you want.
What are Savory Muffins?
Savory muffins are the opposite of sweet. We tend to think of muffins as a sweet cake-like treat. Savory muffins and quick breads, like my Garlic Cheese Beer Bread or this Savory Caprese Bread, use ingredients like spices, herbs, cheese etc…This Rosemary Parmesan Bread is also one to try.
This Sun Dried Tomato Savory Muffins Recipe is very forgiving allowing you some versatility. You can add more flavors to the mix, like kalamata, green or regular olives, or maybe a different blend of cheeses. Play around with different herbs, adding rosemary, basil or oregano.
Savory Muffins with Cheese and Sun Dried Tomatoes
Whenever I make these, I will throw in a mixture of cheeses. 
This time I used cheddar and romano. But I have also used Parmesan too. When choosing sun-dried tomatoes, I always use the ones that come in olive oil, then chop them into smaller pieces.
I also like using fresh garlic diced or crushed, but you can use garlic powder if you’re in a pinch. They will still taste delicious!

Can you Freeze Savory Muffins?
Yes! Freezing muffins is easy. Allow them to cool completely, then wrap each one in aluminum foil, placing them all into a Ziploc freezer bag. Be sure to press as much air out of the bag as possible when sealing. Use within 2-3 months.
When you’re ready to eat them, grab the quantity you need. Take it out of the plastic bag, placing the foil-wrapped muffin in a warm oven or toaster oven for a few minutes to thaw. Or you can just allow to thaw on the counter if you have more time.

Ann Marie says
Hey Kim can you use a bread loaf pan with the cheese garlic savory muffins recipe? instead of muffin tins ? Thank you can’t wait to try this recipe.
Kim says
HI Ann Marie, I emailed you as well, but yes, you can make this in a loaf pan, however, I have not tried it with this recipe. Adjustments for time and possibly temperature will be needed. I’d google a similar quick bread loaf recipe and copy the timing. My garlic cheese beer bread may be a good option for comparison. Enjoy!
