Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds, toasted
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 unit Large egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease or line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the shredded cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon of the toasted sesame seeds to the dry ingredients, and toss to coat the cheese with flour.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth and fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds over the tops of the muffins for a decorative touch.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to 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 are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
