Feta and oregano muffins

Feta and oregano muffins are a delightful savory treat that's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. These muffins are packed with flavorful feta cheese, aromatic oregano, and the subtle sweetness of red pepper. Quick and easy to make, they're perfect for those who want to impress with minimal effort.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin papers.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, crumbled feta cheese, diced red pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined. Add the milk and olive oil to the eggs, and mix thoroughly.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.
5. Seasoning: Add salt and pepper to taste. Remember, feta cheese is already salty, so be cautious with the additional salt.
6. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve: Enjoy your feta and oregano muffins warm or at room temperature. They make a great snack, breakfast, or accompaniment to a meal.

Tips:

- Ensure your feta cheese is crumbled finely, as this will help it distribute evenly throughout the muffins.

- Feel free to use fresh oregano instead of dried if you prefer a more vibrant flavor. Just double the amount if using fresh.

- You can add a pinch of paprika or chili flakes for a bit of extra spice.

- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt.

- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) before you start preparing the batter to save time.

- Use a toothpick to check if the muffins are done baking. Insert it into the center of a muffin, and if it comes out clean, they're ready.

- Allow muffins to cool for a few minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling. This helps them firm up and makes them easier to handle.

These feta and oregano muffins are a savory delight that combines the richness of feta cheese with the earthy flavor of oregano. Perfect for any time of the day, they're sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection.
