Salmon savory muffins with cheese cream are a modern interpretation of an Anglo-Saxon cuisine classic, revisited with a touch of Mediterranean flavors. I remember that the first time I tasted them, during a trip to Scandinavia, they were much more rustic and less refined. I therefore wanted to create a more elegant version, suitable for an aperitif or a special brunch. The key to the success of these muffins lies in the balance of flavors and textures. The smoked salmon, with its smoked and salty note, goes perfectly with the delicacy of the cheese cream. The eggs, milk and seed oil give the dough the right humidity and softness, while the grated cheese adds an extra touch of flavor. The flour and instant yeast for savory cakes are essential for the leavening and structure of the muffin. The chives, both in the dough and in the cream, give a fresh and herbaceous aroma that enhances the other ingredients. When preparing the dough with the Thermomix®, it is important not to work the ingredients too much, especially after adding the flour. This is to prevent the muffins from becoming hard. The Linkslauf (reverse rotation) when adding the salmon and chives is essential to avoid chopping the salmon too much and keeping the pieces intact. For cooking, I recommend checking the browning of the muffins with a toothpick: if it comes out clean, they are ready. To vary the recipe, you can use other types of smoked fish, such as trout or mackerel. For a vegetarian version, you can replace the salmon with grilled vegetables, such as courgettes, aubergines or peppers. You can also add other aromatic herbs, such as parsley, dill or basil. For a spicier touch, you can add a pinch of chilli to the dough or cream. These muffins are perfect to serve as an appetizer, accompanied by a glass of prosecco or fresh white wine. They can also be served as part of a brunch, along with scrambled eggs, bacon and fresh fruit. The cheese cream can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator. The muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days, or in the refrigerator for a week. They can also be frozen, but the texture may slightly change. For a special occasion, you can decorate the muffins with lumpfish roe or caviar.
