Cheese and Pesto Corn Muffins

When I opened the balcony door this morning, my sense of smell got the attention from a strong aroma of cornbread.

I assume that somebody was working hard in the neighborhood, making cornbread for father’s day.

I have those days when the smell of particular food fly by and my cravings start to kick in. Often that is just a smell of coffee in the air calling my name, especially in the morning when I need caffeine the most.

I made these golden beauties for our father’s day brunch and I can’t even begin to tell you how they satisfied my cravings. I never made cornbread or corn muffins with pesto, but I loved the aroma and the taste of basil. The whole 12 of them were gone while were eating brunch, it was that good; Dangerously good!

I am a huge cheese lover so since I had cheddar cheese, I cubed it and added some in the batter. I only wished that I added more because the cheese is so delicious in baked savory goodies.

The recipe is simple, and one or two will be enough for one serving, but just like when I made savory scones, I have a hard time stopping at one or two I don’t have a strong will around the baked goodies; I call that “problem of a foodie!”
