Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin well.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the buttermilk and melted butter, and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed through the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy them warm.
