Courgette & Feta filling Muffins

Written by Published on Updated on May 20, 2019 in Appetizers

Hi everyone, today is  “Make a Snack Day”  recipe. 🙂  These Courgette muffins are a delight to eat any time of the day, actually I sometimes have them for breakfast. Why you say, 🙂 because they are tasty andddd deliciously  slightly salty. 😉   I love  French toast, Muesli Cereal, Eggs, for breakfast, but sometimes I enjoy eating something different,  a nice change to my morning.  🙂  I guess I enjoy to indulge in these little snacks because while living in Greece, I use to go to our bakery, we didn’t have a cheese shop in our area, before running to catch the bus to go to work and  I mean literally running to catch the bus.  Back then, if you missed it you never really knew what time it would come by again.. 

In almost every neighborhood in Greece, there is a local cheese pie stores, or if there isn’t one you will absolutely find them in the neighborhood bakery shop, all with a large variety of pies from which to choose.  From cheese pies, spinach pies, cream pies, and so many more..they have this absolutely favorite of mine blue cheese spread on mini croissant :).. so good with a good cup of coffee.  🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    These look and sound fabulous! They seriously bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes? I'm not sure I would have that kind of patience!

    Good recipe, Sophie. I'm already hungry :) I'll give it to my mom, because in summer she has so many zucchini in her garden. She always looks for easy and tasty recipes.
