Fabulous Fargozas Recipe

Introduction

Fabulous Fargozas are savory cheese muffins bursting with rosemary and garlic flavors. Perfect as a snack or a side, these warm, fluffy treats bring a delightful twist to your baking routine.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 small onion, minced
• 2 teaspoons crushed garlic
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• ¼ cup butter, melted

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). If using dark-coated muffin pans, reduce the temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups thoroughly.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and dried rosemary until smooth with no lumps. Gently fold in mozzarella, Parmesan, minced onion, and crushed garlic to distribute evenly.
3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk the beaten egg and melted butter together. Add the milk and whisk until well combined.
4. Step 4: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the milk mixture into it. Stir just until moistened by making 12 to 15 full circular strokes, scraping the bottom of the bowl as you go. Don’t overmix; the batter will be lumpy.
5. Step 5: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
7. Step 7: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack or plate to cool slightly.

Tips & Variations

• For a flavor twist, swap mozzarella with cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, or use a combination that you enjoy.
• Be careful not to overmix the batter—lumps are good and lead to a light, feathery texture.
• If you want a milder onion flavor, sauté the onion before adding it to the dry mix.

Storage

Store cooled Fabulous Fargozas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a warm oven for best texture or briefly microwave until warmed through.

FAQs

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend, but ensure it contains xanthan gum or a similar binder for best results.

Can I prepare the batter ahead of time?

It’s best to bake these muffins immediately after mixing to maintain their light texture. However, you can prepare the dry and wet ingredients separately and combine just before baking.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dry Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon dried rosemary

Cheese and Aromatics

• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 small onion, minced
• 2 teaspoons crushed garlic

Wet Ingredients

• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• ¼ cup butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using dark-coated muffin pans, reduce the heat to 400°F (200°C) to prevent over-browning. Lightly grease 12 muffin cups to ensure easy removal of the muffins after baking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly stir the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and dried rosemary until smooth and without lumps. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agent and seasoning throughout the batter.
3. Add Cheese and Aromatics: Gently fold in the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced onion, and crushed garlic into the dry mixture, distributing the flavors evenly without overworking the mixture.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and melted butter until smooth. Then, whisk in the milk thoroughly to create a uniform wet mixture.
5. Form the Batter: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Stir gently with about 12 to 15 full circular strokes, scraping the bottom of the bowl to moisten all flour. The batter should remain lumpy to maintain muffin texture.
6. Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow space for rising during baking.
7. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the muffins are browned on top. The muffins will have a pebbly surface with a feathery texture, indicating they are done.
8. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully remove from the muffin cups and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

• A pebbly surface, feathery texture, and medium-coarse grain indicate a well-made muffin.
• You can substitute mozzarella cheese with cheddar, Monterey Jack, or any cheese combination to vary the flavor profile.
• Reducing oven temperature when using dark-coated pans prevents overly brown bottoms.
• Do not overmix the batter; lumps are essential for the right texture.
