Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

  • 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (like parsley, chives, or thyme)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup milk

  • ¼ cup olive oil (or melted butter)

  • Optional: extra cheese and herbs for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. Stir in shredded cheese and herbs.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and oil (or melted butter).

  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined — don’t overmix!

  6. Divide batter evenly into the muffin tin (about ¾ full each). Sprinkle tops with a little extra cheese and herbs if desired.

  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  8. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use a mix of herbs like basil, oregano, or dill for different flavors.

  • You can swap cheddar for feta, parmesan, or mozzarella.

  • These muffins freeze well — wrap individually and reheat in the microwave or toaster oven.
