Cheddar Cheese and Herb Muffins

Cheddar cheese originated in the town name Cheddar in England. Today many countries around the world produce cheddar cheese, Sweden, Austria, Ireland, New Zealand  , etc. Canadian cheddar cheeses are smoother, have creamier texture,and great balance of flavor and sharpness.
I love cooking with cheddar, actually is one of my favorite  cheeses to eat or cook with. So when I came across this recipe in one of my baking books I had to try it. Those cheddar cheese muffins can easily replace the dinner rolls or are great in the morning with breakfast. The fresh herbs compliments very well the cheese and delivers fragrance to each bite.
