by UK-based cookbook author Rose Elliot, whose recipes tend to strike a nutritional balance. As Heidi points out these muffins are not bready, they are more of a quiche consistency.Very easy to make, these muffins would go nicely with a Brunch Menu or they would make a nice lunch with a small side salad.
