Smoked Salmon Surprise Muffins

Whenever Bed and Breakfast travelers visit Vancouver, one of the first experiences they seek is a taste of local salmon and other seafood. Not to be outdone, a specialty of here is Smoked Salmon Surprise Muffins... a surprise not only because it's so unexpected a taste sensation, but also because B&B guests discover they're feasting on salmon before their day exploring Vancouver has barely begun.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons dried dillweed or 2 Tablespoons minced fresh dill

1 egg, well beaten

1/3 cup melted butter

1 cup mayonnaise

3/4 cup milk

1 cup finely chopped smoked salmon

12 cubes chevre (goat cheese)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and grease or spray muffin pans well. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Stir dill into the mixture and make a well in the center. Combine beaten egg, melted butter, mayonnaise, and milk; stir in chopped smoked salmon. Pour egg/salmon mixture into the well in the dry ingredients and blend quickly with as few strokes as possible.

Fill muffin pans 3/4 full. Bake approximately 25 minutes until a skewer inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Cut 1-inch diameter rounds from the top of each muffin and insert a cheese cube in each. Replace lids to allow cheese to soften. Remove muffins from pans; serve warm.

Makes: 6 large muffins: 3 inches in diameter, 1-1/2 inches deep.
