Simple to bake and perfect with soup or salad these cheddar rye muffins are ideal for quick meals.
These savory cheese muffins lend themselves easily for simple meals at home, pack well in lunches, and make for perfect sharing at potlucks.
Use at Every Meal
These muffins definitely make for an excellent soup side dish. They go great alongside salad meals, too. However, the possibilities don’t end there.
Eat them alongside eggs for breakfast. I quite like to dip them into something soft yolked.
Do tuck them into lunch boxes with some bits of veggies and meat leftover from dinner.
Substitution Ideas
Substitute gouda or most any other cheese for the cheddar.
Don’t have rye? Use whole wheat flour instead for a heartier muffin. Skip the whole grain and use more all-purpose flour instead.
Aren’t a fan of caraway seeds. Skip them or add poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or even sunflower seed

I try but cannot guarantee this nutritional information is 100% accurate.
I made these this morning as a Mother’s Day treat for myself. They’re delicious! Mine only needed to bake for 15 minutes – perhaps altitude makes a difference? We’re at about 2700 feet.
Thanks for this great recipe!
Thanks so much for letting me know – sometimes muffin tins vary too but I’ll double check the time the next time I make them.
