Good Morning Rehoboth Beach!!, Coffee, The Coffee Mill, Muffins, Scrapple Chipotle Cheese Muffins, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware

The sun is not even out, and who knows how the weather will be today, but the start of a Sunday morning or any morning for that matter, in Rehoboth Beach is with a cup of mocha from one of my favorites…The Coffee Mill.  It is located at 127-B Rehoboth Avenue in the Rehoboth Mews.  Tel. 302-227-7530.  Website?  http://www.cofffeemillrehoboth.com.

I missed the Apple Scrapple Festival in Bridgeville, Delaware this year.  And, the weather did not cooperate either.  But, I decided to pay homage to another favorite….Scrapple.  My Scrapple Chipotle Cheese Muffins recipe is one of those that is, definitely, a little bit of this, and a little bit of that.  In my kitchen I found gluten free, flour, and in the refrigerator I found, eggs, cheese, evaporated milk, onions, pickled jalapenos and….imagine this….Rapa Chile Chipotle Scrapple!!  These were going to be some hot muffins!!

I sliced half a pound of the scrapple and proceeded to fry it in the pan.

Chop half of an onion and saute in the same frying pan.  Add about 1/4 cup or more of chopped pickled jalapenos.  Add the chopped scrapple and mix it all in.  Let the flavors mingle…haha.  Turn heat off and just let them rest.  In the meantime, pre-heat  oven to 350 degrees.

To make it easier, use a muffin mix or pancake mix.  I used a gluten free Bisquik mix…about 1 1/2 cups.  You can follow the recipe on the box or just add one egg, milk to make it thicker than pancake mix, the scrapple mixture, 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.  My muffin pan was deep, so I only got 6 large muffins.  Fill them, sprinkle with extra cheese, and bake in the oven for about half hour to 40 minutes, again, depending on your muffin pan and until the knife inserted comes out clean.

Out of the pan and into a plate….they disappeared quickly.

The idea is that when you bite into the muffin you can get the flavors of the scrapple, onions, cheese and jalapenos….spicy but pretty good.  Now make them your own!!

Please note that this recipe is not gluten free.  Scrapple has gluten.  Too bad.

Have a good one!
