Description
Soft, savory buttermilk muffins filled with melty mozzarella, chewy sundried tomatoes and basil, perfect for breakfast, brunch or a grab-and-go snack.
Ingredients
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup olive oil or melted butter
1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese, divided
1/2 cup oil-packed sundried tomatoes, drained and finely chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and dried basil together.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk and olive oil until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
5. Fold in 3/4 cup of the mozzarella and the chopped sundried tomatoes.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top.
7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack. Serve warm.
Notes
Based on the published sun-dried tomato basil muffins with mozzarella (2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, dried basil, shredded mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes, baked at 375°F for 18 to 20 minutes). The source’s other amounts (oil, leavening, salt, cheese and tomato quantities) were not available, so those were developed for Poulef. It is untested, so test one batch before publishing.
No buttermilk? Stir 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar into 1 cup of milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.
