Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and lightly grease or line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; itβs okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped chives (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.
