Ingredients
UnitsScale
2cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 large eggs
1cup milk
1/4cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Stir in the shredded cheese, chives, and parsley.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vegetable oil.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use a mix of herbs like thyme, dill, or basil for variation.
Great served warm with butter or alongside soups and salads.
Can be frozen for up to 2 months—reheat in the oven or microwave.
