Cooking 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.
