Ingredients:

1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 tbsp sugar
16g
1/2 cup basil leaves
3.50g
2 tbsp chives
30g
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
14g
1/3 cup feta cheese
72g
1/3 cup cheddar cheese
33g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
1 egg
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a mini muffin tray or line with mini muffin paper liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and baking powder. Stir in the sugar, basil, chives, Parmesan, feta, and cheddar cheeses until well combined.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and the lightly beaten egg.
4. Combine Ingredients:
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well. Gently fold the mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. Fill Muffin Tray:
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tray, filling each mold about two-thirds full.
6. Bake:
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7. Cool:
Allow the muffins to cool in the tray for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve:
Serve the Three Cheese Mini Muffins warm or at room temperature. They make a perfect snack or appetizer for any occasion.

Tips:

- Ensure that all your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing for a smoother batter and better rise.

- Finely chop the basil leaves and chives to evenly distribute their flavors throughout the muffins.

- Do not over-mix the batter; this can make the muffins tough. Mix until just combined.

- Use a mini muffin tin and fill each cup about 2/3 full to allow space for the muffins to rise.

- You can use paper liners or grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking.

- Feel free to experiment with other herbs or additional cheese varieties to suit your taste.

Three Cheese Mini Muffins are a simple yet flavorful recipe that brings together the goodness of three different cheeses with aromatic herbs. These muffins are perfect for any occasion, whether you need a quick snack, a party appetizer, or a delicious addition to your meal.
