Cheddar and pepper muffin is a delicious savory preparation originating from the United States, where muffins are part of the traditional cuisine and are enjoyed for both breakfast and snacks. These small baked pastries have their origin in Anglo-Saxon culture, but over time they have become popular in various Latin American countries. In several places, they are simply known as "savory muffins" or "cheese cupcakes," although the specific combination with cheddar cheese and a touch of pepper gives them a distinctive and highly appreciated flavor. This dish is ideal for those looking for an easy and tasty option, combining the creaminess of the cheese with the slight spiciness of the pepper, making it perfect to accompany soups, salads, or simply to eat on its own.
