Cheese muffins are one of the most unusual types of pastries. Despite the fact that there are a large number of flour products with cheese, in this interpretation they look really interesting. Cheese muffins will appeal to those who like unsweetened pastries. They are very tasty and aromatic, and garlic and dill give them a piquancy. You can take any cheese for making muffins: Dutch, cheddar, gouda and even dor-blue. Such muffins are perfect with a morning cup of coffee.

How to cook Cheese Garlic Muffins

Step 1

Chop the dill finely.

Step 2

Grate the cheese on a fine grater.

Step 3

Grate the garlic on a fine grater or pass it through a press.

Step 4

Prepare the dough. Break the egg into a deep bowl and add melted butter.

Step 5

Add milk, salt, baking powder and sifted flour to the egg. Mix everything well until smooth. The consistency of the dough should resemble thick sour cream.

Step 6

Add dill, garlic and cheese to the dough. Mix well.

Step 7

Grease a muffin tin with vegetable oil and pour in the batter. Fill each tin about 2/3 full, as the muffins will rise during baking. Place the muffins in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 200°C.

Step 8

Serve the muffins garnished with chopped dill and grated cheese.

Cheese Garlic Muffins - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of cheese instead of the suggested one?

Yes, you can substitute the cheese with any meltable variety like cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda for a similar texture. Avoid hard cheeses like Parmesan for this recipe.

How do I store leftover Cheese Garlic Muffins, and how long do they last?

Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Can I make these muffins gluten-free?

Absolutely! Replace regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend, ensuring it includes xanthan gum for binding. The texture should remain similar.

How can I make the muffins lower in carbs?

Reduce carbs by using almond or coconut flour instead of wheat flour, but note the texture may be denser. Also, opt for full-fat dairy to maintain richness.

Can I freeze these muffins for later?

Yes! Once cooled, wrap them tightly in plastic or foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or reheat in a 180°C oven for 5-10 minutes.

What’s a good dip or side to serve with these muffins?

Pair them with garlic aioli, marinara sauce, or a light yogurt dip. They also complement soups or salads as a savory side.

Can I make mini muffins instead of regular-sized ones?

Yes, simply reduce the baking time to 12-15 minutes at the same temperature. Test for doneness with a toothpick to avoid overcooking.

Can I omit the garlic for a milder flavor?

Yes, skip the garlic or replace it with 1/2 tsp garlic powder if you prefer a subtler taste. The muffins will still be cheesy and delicious.

Why did my muffins turn out dense instead of fluffy?

Overmixing the dough or using expired baking powder can cause density. Mix just until combined, and check your leavener’s freshness.

Can I use fresh herbs instead of dill?

Yes! Fresh parsley, chives, or thyme work well. Use the same quantity and finely chop for even distribution in the batter.
