Elevate your brunch game with these savory Wine and Cheese Muffins, a delightful blend of sharp cheddar, nutty Parmesan, and the subtle sophistication of dry white wine. Perfectly fluffy with a golden crust, these muffins are infused with fresh chives and a hint of black pepper for an herby, aromatic kick. Ready in just 35 minutes, theyβre ideal for entertaining or as a gourmet snack on the go. Whether served warm alongside a hearty soup, paired with a crisp salad, or enjoyed with a glass of wine, these cheesy delights redefine the art of savory baking.
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese, making sure they are evenly coated with the flour mixture. This will help distribute the cheese evenly throughout the muffins.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the white wine, milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the chopped chives and gently fold the mixture together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18β20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair beautifully with a glass of white wine or as an accompaniment to a hearty soup or salad.
