I used a very sharp cheddar and the muffins were very good the first day, but they went dry really fast. By the next day I had to toast it and put butter on it.

I read the mixed reviews before making these muffins. I wish I had listened to the bad reveiws before wasting ingredients on these. I am rarely disappointed with CL recipes, but this was a huge disappointment!!! Not only were the muffins dry, but they had no flavor. Even drowning it in butter (which defeats the CL purpose) didn't help these muffins. I ended up throwing them all away.
