Excellent, but needed extra....
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I took the recipe a little farther and added garlic and a tablespoon of brown sugar. I didn't have any paparika. It was... good and moist to me. I may have undercooked them abit though. My muffin pan is one of those Chef Tony silicon, very shallow.....made about 10 muffins.Read more

Very good.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These were very easy to make, and after reading some of the other posts, I added a dollop of low-fat sour cream to the muffin... mixture so that it wouldn't be dry. I'll try freezing some, because they'd make a great breakfast muffin. I did have a little trouble getting them out of the muffin tin, but I think that was because of the cheese. I used Monterey jack, which was very tasty. They'd be nice to make with Easter ham, too.Read more

UGH :(
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

How can anyone give this recipe 5 stars. They were horrible! so dry. I don't think they would have been so bad if there was... more liquid added, plus I made them in mini muffin tins, so maybe that was the problem. I don't know but Rachael needs to tweek this recipe.Read more

The whole family LOVED them

I doubled the recipe because I have a large family and we are big eaters. I used a bit too much cheese, but nobody seemed to... mind. These were excellent and will make again and again. LOVED them.Read more
