Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take a 12-cup muffin tin and lightly grease each cup with non-stick spray or a thin coat of butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients while whisking continuously. Ensure there are no lumps in the batter.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full to allow room for the puffs to rise.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the egg puffs are set and the tops are golden and slightly crispy.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the cheesy egg puffs cool for 2–3 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin.
Garnish with chopped chives, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
