Herbed Goat Cheese Muffins are a savory, herb-y muffin stuffed with goat cheese. The muffins are almost biscuit-like in texture, and the goat cheese center is a delightful contrast with the green onions and herbs. These are very quick and easy to make and go well with your favorite salad or grilled chicken (or any grillable for that matter!).
Speaking of herbs, do you usually plant an herb garden? That is my plan for this weekend! It’s always a tough decision, but I usually plant rosemary, basil, oregano, thyme, and then whatever else looks good. What’s in your herb garden?

I am loving goat cheese lately. Good thing since we stocked up at CostCo! I have all of these herbs in my garden, so these are perfect. I hope you post photos of your garden! 🙂
Oooh these look great! I’ll take anything with goat cheese. 🙂
I can never get enough goat cheese!
Oh I love these, they look so delicious! 🙂
Love goat cheese, and looks like these muffins are the perfect balance of salt and cheese.
Oh, I love, love, love herbed goat cheese. I usually use lots of chives in mine. Baked into a muffin? I’ll take a dozen to go!
Very tempting and delicious muffins. I love the goat cheese in the middle. Yum! =)
My husband LOVES goat cheese, he would be all over these!!
That little nibble out of one muffins that reveals the goat cheese filling is hurting me. I’m on an airplane and would love…LUV…one of those right now. This year I have a beautiful almost black basil flourishing. I’m a sucker for alternate colors.
Congrats on the FB Top 9! I love goat cheese! I have to make these and soon!! 😀
Wow, these look so great! Ilove savory muffins. 🙂
Just that little bit of goat cheese poking out is enough to make me weak in the knees.
Don’t have a herb garden, sadly. But if I would have one I’d probably plant about the same things as you since they’re the kind of herbs I use the most when cooking.
Love these muffins, by the way! Goats cheese is absolutely delicious and I’ll definitely be making these. Thanks for sharing.
I have goat cheese that I need to use, and these look perfect. I love all the herbs!
how would these travel – do you think they’d be ok to bake and eat the next evening?
I love savory muffins – these look great!
I LOVE herbed goat cheese. These sound wonderful.
My herb garden has spring onions, greek oregano, (lots of) basil, thyme, and cilantro. Unfortunately, I’ve had the worst time growing rosemary the last couple of years.
What did you end up planting?
