Recipe
Preheat to 400. Grease 12 muffin cups.

In a different bowl, whisk eggs until well blended.
Add milk and melted butter, whisk to combine.

Add orange zest, dried cherries and pecans; stir just to mix. Batter should be lumpy - over mixing will make the muffins tough.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove and let cool in pans for a few minutes, then remove.
Serve warm.
