Canadian Rosemary and Cheese Muffin Treats in Bulgaria

It was such a delight that even here in Bulgaria you can recreate a recipe that originated in Canada. We had some Canadian friends over and they took charge of the cooking. one evening The highlight of that Canadian food festival in Bulgaria was a herb based recipe that exceeded all expectations. Muffins with Rosemary and Goat's Cheese! Goat's cheese here in Bulgaria is called sirene.

They gave me the recipe and I have laid it out here for everyone to share.

The combination of rosemary, rasins goat cheese blend in to make a taste uniques and very special. These muffins were served alongside wild game this time round, but can be just as good with lamb, or pork dishes or even with salad.

Take note and enjoy this rosemary based herb dish.

Rosemary and Cheese Muffins Recipe

Ingredients:

¾ cups Fresh full fat milk
¾ cups White raisins
1 tbsp Freshly chopped rosemary
¼ cups Unsalted butter
1½ cups Sieved White Plain flour
½ cups Sugar
2 tsp Baking powder

Method:

Place the milk in a saucepan and warm a very low heat, add the butter and stir until melted. Remove from the heat an let stand for around thirty minutes until cooled down.

Mix the raisins, rosemary, sugar, flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Take the egg and whisk into the cooled milk/butter mixture. Add the ingredients from the bowl and mix lightly just until everything is moist. Taking 12 greased muffin cups, ladel one third of the batter into them. Then put 2 teaspoons of goat cheee in centre of batter in each respective cup. Top the cups, covering the cheese with with remaining batter equally. Bake for around 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 350F or to the point of the muffins having turned brown with a spring in the centre.
