Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or your favorite melting cheese)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • Optional additions: chopped herbs (like chives or parsley), cooked bacon bits, or diced jalapeños for extra flavor

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and grated cheese. Toss everything together to distribute the cheese evenly.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

These cheese muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a savory snack. Feel free to customize them with your favorite herbs or additional ingredients for extra flavor. Enjoy baking!
