Cheeseburger Mini Muffins

Wow, April just flew by! It's Muffin Monday again and since I'd been making a lot of sweets lately I set out to find a savory muffin to make.  I found these Cheeseburger Mini Muffins on Taste of Home.

I did make a few changes.  First up, I used minced dried onion instead of fresh.  I added some cracked black pepper along with the salt. Whole milk is what we have on hand so that's what went in there.

I got zero process pics but other than browning the meat ahead of the mix it's pretty standard muffin method.  Wet in one bowl, dry in the other, wet into dry gently and not thoroughly, add your mix ins (in this case the meat and cheese) and then scoop into tins.

You can do these as minis as the recipe is titled or you can do regular size.  It makes a lot of minis.  Like dozens. I did one tin of minis and then I did 6 full size muffins.

I also sprinkled a bit of each ingredient of top because I always like people to see what they are getting but you have to be careful that it doesn't over brown/burn.

I served mine up with spicy ketchup and spicy pickles that I get from a local farm stand. Using the good sharp cheddar cheese is definitely a necessity. I'd intended on freezing some but the guys ripped through them in no time.

Thanks so much to Stacy for hosting #MuffinMonday and to all the other awesome bloggers who shared recipes today, be sure to go check out what they made using the links down below!

Your cheeseburger muffins look wonderful, Jolene! I'm not surprised that you didn't have any to freeze!

Good old Taste of Home recipes! I had almost 20 years worth of magazines at one point. These look like great little snacks.

I totally adore the pickle on top, and what a great name "kickles." I love that your guys mowed through these.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper. Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed.   They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract.  This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SummerDessertWeek !  I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own. I also added some red food coloring to give it a pink hue, but you can skip that if you like.  I use a cookie scoop to portion out the batter, it keeps all the pizzelles the same size, plus it's quicker than using two spoons.   They're delicious as is but you can take them over the top by fashioning them into a cylinder which we like to call fauxnoli.  You can pipe them full of whipped cream or buttercream.  If you want to prepare everything in advance, store the pizzelle in an airtight container, and the filling in a pastry or zip top bag in the f
