We put cheese on just about everything, don’t you? If so, you can just imagine my excitement when I received samples of Authentic Asiago Cheese PDO, both Fresh and Aged, from an Asiago Cheese Consortium. I immediately started cooking with it, and honestly, I think I used this delicious, Authentic Asiago Cheese every day for a week! Sadly, the fresh cheese was gone in a hurry. However, I am still using the aged, adding it to old and new recipes, like these Asiago Green Chile Corn Muffins!
These Asiago Green Chile Corn Muffins, were not the first recipe I made with my Authentic Asiago Cheese. Several days after the cheese arrived, I made chili (have you tried it with Asiago Cheese sprinkled on top?…love it!) While Buttermilk Cornbread or Cornmeal Crescent Rolls are usually my go to…these Asiago Green Chile Corn Muffins will definitely be my first pick when I make chili, stews and soups.
