Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 250 milliliters Whole milk
• 60 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 150 grams Smoked salmon, chopped
• 120 grams Herb cheese spread (such as Boursin or cream cheese with herbs)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by either greasing it lightly or lining it with paper muffin liners.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and add in the milk and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding them together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure light and tender muffins.

Step 5

Gently fold in the smoked salmon, herb cheese, dill, chives, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Use a spoon or an ice cream scoop to divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving for optimal flavor.
