Herby Polenta Muffins
These are great for breakfast, brunch, lunch or picnics and freeze well. The polenta adds a lovely crunch and we have used our Roast Vegetable Herb Mix, but any of our herb blends (Italian Herbs, Mixed Herbs, Herbes de Provence) would work well, and it’s easy to add other cheeses or vegetables if so desired.
