Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting half of the grated cheese with a strong cheese like cheddar or pepper jack. If you prefer a spicier kick, use fresh jalapeños instead of green chilies. Additionally, you can add herbs such as cilantro or chives for a fresh taste. Ensure the muffin batter is not overmixed to keep them light and fluffy. If you're feeling adventurous, try adding corn kernels for extra texture.
