Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings 4 fresh peaches, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 4 teaspoons finely minced fresh basil 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt 1 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese (such as Sargento® Off the Block) ½ cup butter, room temperature 7 tablespoons brown sugar 2 eggs, room temperature ¼ cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese (such as Sargento® Off the Block) Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners. Mix peaches, basil, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar in a bowl; let sit until sugar dissolves, about 15 minutes. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Mix 1 cup Cheddar cheese into flour mixture. Beat butter and 7 tablespoons brown sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, until just combined; gently fold in peaches. Mix flour mixture, a little at time, into peach mixture until batter is just combined. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese over batter. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cook's Note: It is essential to use ripe, juicy peaches, otherwise you may need to add up to 1/4 cup of milk to the batter if mixture is too dry. You may substitute 2 cups of diced frozen peaches for the fresh peaches. I Made It Print 55 home cooks made it!
