Looking for a delicious and easy appetizer to impress your guests? Savory herb and cheese muffins are perfect! These muffins are flavorful, versatile, and simple to make using muffin tins. In this article, you’ll learn how to prepare these tasty bites from scratch.
Ingredients Needed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, thyme)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add the shredded cheese and chopped herbs, mixing well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serving Suggestions
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature. These savory muffins are perfect for parties, brunch, or as a snack. Pair them with a light salad or a spread of butter and enjoy!
