Savory muffins with olives and sun-dried tomatoes
Description
Delicious baked treats for the whole family. This dish comes from Italian cuisine, where they bake more than just the well-known pizza :) These little muffins make an excellent substitute for bread at home-cooked lunches, and they're also perfect for parties and buffets. They're very convenient to take on picnics, to work, or to school. Although they are savory, they taste wonderful with a cup of tea or coffee—trust me. Serve them cooled down or slightly warm.
