This is our version of a pimped-up corn muffin. Corn, Cheddar and Sun Dried Tomato Muffins are the nibble you’ve been waiting for. We have them at brunch as a savoury alternative to all of the sweets. I use a mature cheddar for that extra kick. However for a quick taster, just spread pesto for instance. The ingredients combine to create a superb flavour burst in your mouth. This is a superb vegetarian dish.
