Savory muffins make a great appetizer at a buffet, especially if presented in an interesting way, such as as a base. Bake corn muffins by mixing not only cornmeal but also a few kernels cut from the cob into the batter. Add a delicious flavor by adding fresh cilantro to the batter, and bake. Since these muffins are miniature, they'll bake in just under 10 minutes. This time allows you to prepare a delicious and healthy shrimp and vegetable salad to go with them. Instead of mayonnaise, dress the salad with ripe avocado. Its creamy texture will bind the ingredients and give the salad a delicate, pleasant texture. Spoon the salad onto the sliced muffins and serve.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 190°C and grease 3 mini muffin tins with 12 cups each.
In a bowl, sift together the cornmeal, wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and celery salt. Add the chives and cilantro. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vegetable oil. Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture and stir until the liquid is absorbed (do not overmix).

Quickly stir in the corn. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin pans. Bake the muffins until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 8 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely.
Preheat a gas grill to high heat. Grill the corn on all sides until lightly charred and the kernels are bright yellow. Let cool and cut the kernels into a bowl.
