Snack Time with Jarlsberg Cheese #Giveaway AD

They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach but I say, the way to a mom’s heart is through her stomach.  Maybe it’s just me but I love it when I don’t have to cook or clean up.  On Mother’s Day, I love it when my kids treat me to a simple breakfast or snack they’ve made themselves. One of our favorite things to make and share together is a snack place with fruit, cheese, salami and crackers.  Jarlsberg cheese is a special treat.  The mild, sweet & nutty flavor is delicious!  While we enjoy it as is, it’s also great in different recipes.  Jarlsberg share this recipe below which would be another great addition to a Mother’s Day spread!

To Make the corn muffins

Pre-heat the oven to 425°F. Whisk together the milk and eggs. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and butter. Add the liquid and stir. Spoon the mixture into muffin cases. If possible, use stiff paper cups, so the muffins stand up better. Cut the cheese into cubes and press them down into the mixture. Bake in the center of the oven for about 15 minutes. This cornbread can also be baked in a large round baking tin, about 8 inch diameter. Combine the ingredients for the nut pesto in a blender or using a hand blender. Pulse or blend until coarsely chopped. Serve the corn muffins with extra Jarlsberg® Cheese, nut pesto and thin slices of cured ham, if desired.
