Description
Simple recipe for savory muffins featuring cheese and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and oil until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the shredded cheese, chives, and parsley.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can substitute the cheddar cheese with Gruyere or Monterey Jack for a different flavor.
- Use dried herbs if fresh are unavailable, reducing the amount to 1 teaspoon each.
