Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 200 grams Cottage cheese
- 100 milliliters Milk
- 60 milliliters Olive oil
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs gently, then stir in the cottage cheese, milk, and olive oil until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the grated cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, and chives gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.
