Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese (grated)
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 3 tablespoons Fresh chives (finely chopped)
- 2 large Eggs
- 180 milliliters Milk
- 50 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cavity with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the grated cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, and chopped chives to the dry ingredients, and mix well to coat them evenly with flour. This prevents the cheese from sinking to the bottom during baking.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then whisk in the milk and vegetable oil until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture together with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the muffins dense.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Enjoy the muffins plain, or pair them with a dollop of cream cheese or herb butter for an extra treat!
