Ingredients

Scale

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.
