Three cheese muffins

If you're looking for a savory treat that's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack, these Three Cheese Muffins are just what you need. Packed with the rich flavors of cheddar, parmesan, and feta, these muffins are elevated with fresh basil and scallions, offering a delightful blend of tastes with every bite.

Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1 tbsp sugar
16g
1/2 cup basil leaves
3.50g
1 cup scallions
50g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
1 egg
50g
1/2 cup olive oil
120g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
50g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g
1/2 cup feta cheese
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and sugar. Whisk together to evenly distribute the sugar in the flour.
3. Add Herbs and Scallions: Stir in the chopped basil leaves and finely chopped scallions until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
4. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, olive oil, and minced garlic until well blended.
5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently using a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
6. Incorporate the Cheeses: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and crumbled feta cheese. Ensure the cheeses are evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
7. Fill the Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be lightly golden and firm to the touch.
9. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve: Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a tasty snack!
11. Storage: Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the muffins for up to 3 months, and thaw them at room temperature before serving.

Tips:

- Use fresh basil leaves for the best flavor. If fresh basil is not available, you can use dried basil, but reduce the quantity to 1 teaspoon.

- Make sure to crumble the feta cheese so it’s evenly distributed throughout the muffins.

- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the batter.

- Do not overmix the batter; doing so can result in dense muffins. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.

- If you prefer a more moist muffin, replace half of the milk with plain yogurt.

- You can also add other herbs like chives or parsley for added flavor.

These Three Cheese Muffins are not only easy to make but also deliciously satisfying. The combination of cheddar, parmesan, and feta creates a wonderfully rich and cheesy flavor that's perfectly complemented by the fragrant basil and scallions. Whether enjoyed warm from the oven or packed for a quick snack, these muffins are sure to please cheese lovers everywhere.
