Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 whole egg, large
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, Greek yogurt, melted butter, and egg until smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and chives (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
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 let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these extra cheese muffins on their own or as a side to soups and salads!
