Cheddar Muffins Recipe
Description
The Cheddar Muffins recipe mixes dry ingredients including flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and shredded cheddar cheese. A separate mixture of egg, milk, and melted butter is combined with the dry mix until just blended, preserving a tender crumb. Baking at 400º F yields golden muffins with a slight crust and soft interior, offering a balanced cheesy taste without overpowering saltiness. The inclusion of cheddar contributes both flavor and texture contrast to the crumb.
These muffins serve well warm alongside soups, salads, or as a standalone snack. The cheese layer makes them more substantial than sweet muffins, lending themselves to savory meal pairings.
The original notes suggest muffins can be prepared in advance, stored in an airtight container refrigerated for up to three days, or frozen up to three months. Thawing overnight and reheating in the oven preserves texture and flavor well.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 1/2 /2 cups cheddar cheese grated
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat oven to 400º F. Lightly spray muffin tin with baking spray and set aside.
- Whisk dry ingredients. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the shredded cheese and gently toss together with the flour mixture.
- Mix wet ingredients. Stir together the egg, milk, and melted butter in another small bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
- Bake and serve. Spoon the cheese muffin mixture into the prepared muffin pan. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
- Cool muffins completely before storing to maintain texture.
- Refrigerate baked muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freeze muffins in airtight containers for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
- Melted butter adds moistness, so measure carefully for best results.
