Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • A pinch of black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature

Additional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup grated semi-hard cheese (such as Gouda, Fontina, or sharp cheddar)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or basil, chopped

Optional Flavor Enhancements (Herbs & Spices)

  • Fresh parsley, chives, thyme, or basil (for extra herbs)
  • Paprika or cayenne pepper (for a spicy kick)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, a pinch of black pepper to taste, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder. Thoroughly mix these spices with the flour to ensure even distribution and flavor in every bite.
  2. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, 1 cup of whole milk at room temperature, and 2 eggs at room temperature until the mixture is well combined.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixtures together just until combined, taking care not to overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
  4. Add Additional Ingredients: Stir in the chopped tomatoes, grated semi-hard cheese, and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley or basil. Incorporate these gently to avoid overworking the batter while ensuring even distribution.
  5. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper muffin cups.
  6. Fill Muffin Tins and Bake: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
  • Room temperature eggs and milk help the ingredients combine better.
  • Customize with your favorite semi-hard cheese for varied flavor profiles.
  • Adding herbs or a pinch of cayenne can enhance the savory notes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • These muffins can be reheated in a microwave or oven before serving for a fresh-baked taste.
