Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped dill and shredded cheddar cheese (if using) until evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 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 allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
