Jamie Oliver’s Cheese Muffins are savory muffins made with a blend of grated cheese, flour, and eggs, often flavored with herbs and spices. They’re ideal for enjoying warm with a slather of butter or served alongside soups and salads.

Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour (2 cups or 250g) – The base for the muffins.
  • Baking Powder (2 tsp) – For a light and fluffy texture.
  • Milk (1 cup or 250ml) – Adds moisture to the batter.
  • Eggs (2 large) – Binds the ingredients together.
  • Butter (4 tbsp, melted) – Adds richness to the muffins.
  • Grated Cheddar Cheese (1 ½ cups or 150g) – The star ingredient for a cheesy flavor.
  • Salt (½ tsp) – Enhances the flavor.
  • Fresh Thyme or Parsley (2 tbsp, chopped) – Optional, for added aroma.
  • Optional Additions:
    • Crumbled feta, grated Parmesan, or mozzarella for extra cheesiness.
    • Diced vegetables like red pepper or zucchini for a nutritious twist.

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or grease with non-stick spray.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and any optional herbs.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth.

Combine the Batter

  1. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
  2. Fold in the Cheese:
    Add the grated cheddar cheese and gently fold it into the batter. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light.

Bake the Muffins

  1. Fill the Muffin Tin:
    Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  2. Bake:
    Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Cool:
    Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve

  1. Serve Warm:
    Enjoy the cheese muffins warm or at room temperature, either on their own or with a pat of butter.
