Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or your choice)
  • 1/2 cup chopped vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, or onions)
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled sausage or bacon (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Then fold in the shredded cheese, chopped vegetables, and cooked meat if you are using sausage or bacon.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the two eggs, then add the milk and melted butter or olive oil. Mix thoroughly to combine all the wet ingredients.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; it’s important not to overmix to keep the muffins tender. Some lumps in the batter are fine.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute vegetables and cheese to suit your taste or what you have on hand.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage or bacon.
  • You can prepare the batter the night before and bake fresh muffins in the morning.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • These muffins can be served as a grab-and-go breakfast or a savory snack.
