Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cornmeal
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 200 milliliters Plain yogurt
- 100 milliliters Milk
- 50 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 200 grams Feta cheese
- 100 grams Shredded yellow cheese (e.g., cheddar or gouda)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the yogurt, milk, and vegetable oil. Stir until combined and smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Crumble the feta cheese and fold it into the batter along with the shredded yellow cheese, distributing them evenly throughout.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair wonderfully with soups, stews, or as a standalone snack.
