Cream cheese, sucuk muffins

Savory muffins..

I really like cream cheese in different flavors but Philladelphia garden vegetable cream cheese was not a hit for the household. So to save the cheese, i baked these yummy savory muffins. Great for breakfast, brunches and little one's lunch boxes,too! Feel free to try different cheese types...

Ingredients (makes 12 muffins)

1 box Philladelphia garden vegetable cream cheese- or any type - softened

3 eggs (save 1 yolk for top)

1 cup yogurt

1/2 cup oil

2/3 cup whole wheat flour

2/3 cup all purpose flour

100 gram sucuk (soujuk, Turkish sausage)

1 teaspoon turmeric - to give color and nutritous ,too!

3 table spoons sesame (save 1 table spoon for topping)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

How to prepare

• Preheat oven to 350 F
• Mix the eggs with yogurt, then add oil.
• Divide cream cheese into small pieces, add to egg mixture.

Notes

• Easy to prepare and quick to bake. You should try for weekend breakfast with the family or guests!
• I used turmeric to give a natural yellow color. You don't feel the flavor but it is healthy and really looks yellow!
• You can replace sujuk with your favorite processed meat product
• well, you can replace parmesan cheese with feta, mozzarella, even cream cheese. i tried all different cheeses for salty cakes. Whatever I have in the refrigerator is what I put in the cake:) 
• Brew Turkish tea as it bakes. Don't forget tomatoes & black olives!

Afiyet olsun!
