Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 200 grams White or cremini mushrooms
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 Eggs, large
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners.

Step 2

Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk until combined.

Step 6

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Fold in the cooled mushroom mixture and Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
