Ingredients

Scale

For the Batter:

  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup milk (whole or low-fat), room temperature
  • 1 large egg

For the Filling:

  • 6 large eggs (one per muffin cup)
  • ½ cup grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • Optional: Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 6-cup muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray.
  • Make the Batter:
    • In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
    • In another bowl, whisk melted butter, milk, and one egg until smooth.
    • Combine wet and dry mixtures. Stir gently until smooth but don’t overmix—tiny lumps are fine.
  • Fill Muffin Cups: Add 2-3 tablespoons of batter to each muffin tin cavity, filling halfway.
  • Add the Egg and Toppings: Crack one egg into each cup over the batter. Top with grated cheese and garnish with parsley (if using).
  • Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and bread is set. A toothpick inserted into the bread should come out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Let cool for 5 minutes before gently removing from the pan. Serve warm.
