Leek Muffins
Yields 7 Muffins


Ingredients

Caramelized Leeks:
1 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil
1/2 Onion, diced
1 tsp. Kosher salt, divided
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 Leeks, white part only, cut into half moons, washed and patted dry
1/2 tsp. ground Black Pepper
1 Tbsp. Honey

Batter:
1/2 C. All-purpose Flour
2 Tbsp. Granulated White Sugar
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt
2 Eggs at room temperature
1/4 C. Vegetable Oil
1/4 C. Milk

Method:
Heat the Oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep frying pan.

Add Onions and half of the Salt; stir to combine.

Cook for about 5 minutes, until the Onions have softened.

Add Garlic and stir in as well, cooking until fragrant.

Add Leeks, remaining Salt and the Pepper; stir to combine.

Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for at least 20 minutes.

The Leek mixture should have a golden brown color.

Stir in Honey, then remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Preheat oven to 350.

Line a muffin pan with paper liners; set aside.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the Flour, Sugar, Baking Powder, and Salt.

Add in the Eggs, Oil and Milk; whisk to a smooth batter.

Add the cooled Leek mixture and stir in well.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin pans, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.

Bake for about 20 minutes, until the top feels set and firm. Serve warm.

I love this recipe and I am going to make it for sure.
Your serving plate is simply AMAZING! Where did you get it, please?

Thank you for the compliment. That dish I’ve had for more than 30 years from a department store that is no longer. I’ll see if I can find the maker and pass that along to you. Please do let me know if you do try this savory muffin. If I made it again, I’d use more Leeks than two, maybe more like three larger ones.
