Cheese Souffle Skyr Muffins

Description

These light, airy, savory, cheese “soufflé” skyr muffins bring the classic cheese soufflé into an easy, handheld
muffin. Creamy rich Icelandic Provision’s skyr keeps the muffin tender and moist, while the whipped egg whites create that
signature soufflé lift and delicate, cloud like texture. Nutty parmesan, fresh chives and a hint of nutmeg give these muffins that
iconic soufflé taste.They are golden on the outside and soft, fluffy and cheesy within. It's the perfect savory bite!
