  • Quick and easy to make, ready in about 30 minutes.
  • Perfectly fluffy texture with a cheesy, herbaceous flavor.
  • Great for meal prep or as a grab-and-go snack.
  • Customizable with your favorite herbs and cheese.
  • Great for pairing with soups or salads.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or thyme)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (for topping)

How to Make Savory Herb and Cheese Muffins

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Add the shredded cheese and chopped herbs to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and olive oil until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each muffin for added crunch and flavor.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your baking powder is fresh for optimal rise.
  • Experiment with different cheeses and herbs to customize the flavor.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.

Easy Variations

  • Add cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage for a meaty twist.
  • Incorporate sun-dried tomatoes or olives for a Mediterranean flair.
  • Swap out the herbs for Italian seasoning for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

  • A side of fresh fruit for a balanced snack.
  • A light salad drizzled with vinaigrette.
  • Your favorite soup for a comforting meal.
  • A spread of hummus or guacamole for dipping.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, place them in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes.
