Instructions
 

Prepare the Mushrooms and Onions

  • Heat melted butter (with a touch of olive oil to prevent burning) in a pan over medium heat. Add the cubed button mushrooms and white parts of the spring onions. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, seasoning with salt and Italian seasoning. Set aside.

Make the Batter

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and canola oil until well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Stir in the sautéed mushrooms and onions, green parts of spring onions, parsley, basil, cheddar cheese, and red pepper flakes. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.

Bake the Muffins

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 6-cup muffin tin. Fill each muffin cup about halfway with the batter. Sprinkle each muffin with shredded mozzarella cheese and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve

  • Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Savory Mushroom and Cheese Muffins

  • For extra flavor, try adding a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter; overmixing can lead to tough muffins.
  • If you prefer a spicier muffin, add more red pepper flakes.
  • These muffins are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
