So we have all had a garlic bread in our lifetime, with the regret of eating too many slices encouraging that whiffy garlic breath but who cares, it’s just so yummy and moreish. Well anyway when I saw this recipe they shouted out to me, eat me, eat me, of course I did eat. These wouldn’t be your usual crunchy or crispy garlic bread but softer and much much quicker and easier to make, I think that’s what won it for me. Well not only that, the fact it had oozing mozzarella cheese and rich and luscious parsley garlic butter too. I also thought would the garlic butter seep into the muffin more then garlic bread? 🤔🤔🤔
I love eating savoury/sweet muffins as they are soft, I do sound like a right grandma!😬😬😬 lol but soft and moist cakes are amazing right? I did like how these muffins had a lot of flavour with garlic, parsley and lotsssss of butter. The more garlic the better for me, so just keep away!
