Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 items Large eggs
• 1 cup Cottage cheese
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the cottage cheese, milk, and melted butter, and mix until well combined.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fold in the sautéed onions, shredded cheddar cheese (if using), and chopped parsley (if using).

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair well with a dollop of butter or alongside a salad or soup.
