These cozy savory cheese muffins are a quick and easy homemade comfort snack featuring a perfect balance of fluffy, cheesy goodness with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup (110g) sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
  • 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until combined.
  3. Add the grated sharp cheddar cheese and chopped chives (if using) to the dry ingredients and toss to distribute evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the melted butter and milk until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula just until combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and fluffy. Grate cheese finely to avoid clumps and toss grated cheese with a teaspoon of flour to prevent sinking. Use room temperature eggs for better rise. Start checking muffins at 16 minutes if your oven runs hot. For a crunchy cheesy crust, sprinkle extra cheese on top before baking.
