Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 0.5 cup Chopped sundried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained)
- 0.33 cup Chopped pitted Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tins with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the milk and olive oil until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until no dry streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Add the crumbled feta cheese, chopped sundried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and parsley to the batter. Fold gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Optional: Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair well with a light salad, soup, or can be enjoyed on their own!
