Muffins with cheese and cherry

Tender cheese muffins with juicy tops. Muffin is a small pastry, similar to a mini-cupcake, which is baked in special molds: silicone, Teflon or paper rosettes. This pastry is a real lifesaver for any occasion. The dough for muffins is made quickly, without much hassle. A mixer is not required, it is enough to use a regular spoon. Just combine a mixture of liquid ingredients with dry ones, and the dough is ready. If there is no cherry, you can use ordinary tomatoes, cutting them into slices.

The history of the muffin is interesting. Because of the ability to bake them quickly and simply, they were simple and practical food and were conceived as a "breakfast bun". Initially, such "buns" were baked for workers and servants from scraps of dough left over from the master's table.
Muffins came to us from England. English pastries were more like a flat cake. Classic English muffins were baked in an oven or on special roasters without yeast dough molds. The name "Muffin" was used for baking only at the beginning of the 18th century. At the end of the 19th century, special muffin rings were invented, they made the edges of the cakes even. And at the same time, the first muffin recipes began to appear in cookbooks. American muffins are a "modern" form of English muffins, the recipes of which are used nowadays.
