Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as thyme, parsley, or chives), chopped
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat Oven : Begin by setting your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tray by placing paper liners in each cup or greasing them lightly with cooking spray.
- Combine Dry Ingredients : In a sizable mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper using a whisk until well blended. Stir in the grated Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, along with the chopped fresh herbs, until well combined.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients : In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients : Transfer the liquid ingredients into the bowl containing the dry mixture. Using a spatula, gently incorporate the two, mixing until they are barely combined. Take care not to overwork the batter, as this could lead to heavy muffins.
- Fill the Muffin Tin : Using a spoon, distribute the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each one approximately two-thirds of the way full.
- Bake the Muffins : Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve : Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm. Enjoy these muffins on their own or with a pat of butter for an extra indulgent treat!
