These savoury cheese muffins are a delightful combination of cheese and herbs, perfect for breakfast or a snack. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
Equipment
- 1 muffin tin
- 2 mixing bowls
- 1 whisk
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
- 1 cooling rack
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (like chives or parsley)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until well blended.
- Gently fold in the shredded cheese and chopped herbs until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
You can customize these muffins by adding ingredients such as cooked bacon, diced vegetables, or different types of cheese.
