Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with oil or butter.
Heat a small pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the diced red onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Whisk in the milk and olive oil until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be a bit lumpy.
Fold in the crumbled feta cheese, caramelized onions, and chopped rosemary 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 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring the muffins 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 for up to 2 days.
