How To Make savory italian cupcakes with goat cheese frosting
-
11. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with liners. Mix the first five ingredients (flour through baking powder) in a bowl. With electric mixer, combine with 1/4 cup butter to form coarse crumbs. Stir in mozzarella cheese, sausage, olives, and tomatoes.
-
22. In a small bowl, combine milk, pesto, and egg, then add to crumb mixture all at once. Stir quickly with a fork to moisten. Spoon into prepared muffin cups. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes.
-
33. Make the "frosting.” Let the goat cheese crumbles come to room temperature. In a bowl, mix the goat cheese, basil, and cream until smooth consistency, adding more cream if too thick. Pipe or spread frosting over cooled cupcakes and top with a slice of sausage, tomato, or a basil sprig, if desired.
