Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, chopped
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 small Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until soft and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and combine with the milk and melted butter.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be lumpy.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed onions, and fresh parsley (if using). Add a dash of black pepper for extra flavor.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
