Tomato Cheese Muffins and Scrambled Eggs

Welcome to the week of food from the house because it's a week until payday and I just spent a shit ton of money on clothes and camera stuff because of some very nice women I spent the weekend with.

This recipe is from a Gooseberry Patch cookbook my sister in law gave me called 'Meals In Minutes'. Are you seeing a theme here? I don't especially like cooking but I like feeding my family.

2 1/2c. all-purpose flour
1-1/2t. baking powder
1/2t. baking soda
1/2t. salt
2T. sugar
1t. dried basil
2t. onion minced
2 eggs
1 tomato peeled and chopped
1/2c. milk
2T. catsup
1/4c. butter, melted
3/4c. shreeded cheddar, divided.

Combine first 6 ingredients together; set aside. Mix onion, eggs, tomato, milk, catsup and butter together; add alternately with 1/2 cup cheese to dry mixture. Stir until just moistened; fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 2/3 full. Sprinkle evenly with remaining cheese; bake at 375 degrees until golden, about 18 minutes. Makes 12.

I forgot to put the cheese on top and we served this with scrambled eggs. We also had my friend Chrissy's kids over for dinner which always changes the results of this.

Madison: I made these before and Maddie LOVED them and wanted two in her lunch the next day. She didn't remember loving them and she hates scrambled eggs so she ate nothing but the apples I cut up and put on the table. I sent a half a muffin in her lunch the next day and she gleefully told me, "I threw out the muffin you put in my lunch." HI! POWER PLAY!

Max: Loves both scrambled eggs and these muffins but refused to eat last night, not even the eggs. He ended up eating two muffins at lunch the next day though.

Chase: Inhaled the eggs, could not be cajoled into a bite of the muffin.

Erin: I'll eat these eggs but F-Off about the muffin lady.

Logan: Love.

Melissa: Cheap and fast. Just like me.

I'll make it again because I think Maddie will like it eventually.

Thank you for sharing this. I feel the same way about cooking that you do - don't like it but want to have meals for my family.

I just made these muffins (while the baby is sleeping and toddler is coloring - gotta grab those quiet moments!) and will refrigerate until dinner-time tonight. I am concerned that the batter seemed REALLY dry and thick. Did yours?

By the way, I am new to your blog, but I love it...you are so funny. Hope your house sells soon.

The recipe looks delish. Your kids would starve to death at my house.

Sono preoccupato che l'impasto sembrava davvero secca e di spessore. Ha fatto il tuo?
