Bursting with bold flavors and savory charm, these Cheesy Garlic Herb Paprika Tomato Muffins are a delightful fusion of comfort and sophistication. Perfectly golden and fluffy, these muffins feature a medley of sharp cheddar cheese, sweet roasted garlic, and fresh herbs like parsley and basil. Cherry tomato halves add juicy bursts of freshness, while a hint of smoky paprika elevates the warm, aromatic profile. Simple to prepare in just under an hour, these muffins are ideal as an on-the-go snack, a savory breakfast option, or an accompaniment to soups and salads. Whether served warm with a pat of butter or enjoyed fresh from the oven, these muffins are a must-try for lovers of cheesy, herbaceous flavors.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, paprika, salt, and sugar. Stir to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, cherry tomatoes, parsley, and basil into the dry ingredients. Mix gently to coat the add-ins with flour.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, olive oil, and the roasted garlic until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Enjoy your Cheesy Garlic Herb Paprika Tomato Muffins as is, or spread with butter for an extra treat!
