Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 whole Large egg
- 4 ounces Brie cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Gently stir in the grated cheddar cheese and chopped chives (if using).
Spoon a small amount of batter into each mini muffin cup, filling them about halfway.
Place a small cube of Brie cheese into the center of each muffin cup, lightly pressing it down into the batter.
Add a little more batter on top of the Brie cube, ensuring it is fully covered but the muffin cup is not overflowing.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Serve as a warm appetizer or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
