Garlic Chive Mashed Potato Puffins
Ingredients:
3 cups firm mashed potatoes, cold
5.4 oz garlic and herb soft cheese (e.g., Alouette or Boursin)
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp white cheddar cheese, divided
3 large eggs, beaten
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp chopped chives, divided
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
8 oz sour cream or crème fraîche
Directions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Mixture:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cold mashed potatoes, garlic and herb cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, beaten eggs, Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of chopped chives, garlic salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Prepare the Muffin Tin:
Liberally brush the cups of a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
Fill the Cups:
Use a 4 oz ice cream scoop to evenly divide the potato mixture between the muffin cups, filling each almost to the top.
Add the Topping:
Sprinkle the tops of the puffins with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese for a cheesy crust.
Bake:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 23-25 minutes, or until the puffins are set and the tops are golden brown.
Serve:
Once baked, run a knife around the edges of each puffin to loosen them from the tin. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche and garnish with the remaining chopped chives.
