If you’re not a fan of blue cheese, substitute another strong-flavoured shredded cheese such as parmesan, provolone, gruyere or extra-sharp cheddar.
Ingredients
Cooking spray
2 spray(s)
All-purpose flour
2 cup(s), unbleached
Baking powder
2½ tsp(s)
Table salt
½ tsp(s)
Smoked paprika
1 tsp(s)
Salted butter
2 tbsp(s), melted
Raw egg
1 large, beaten
Fat-free skim milk
1 cup(s)
Blue cheese
5 oz, crumbled or extra-sharp cheddar, shredded (see note in introduction above)
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 375ºF and coat a 12-hole muffin tin with cooking spray or line with muffin liners. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and paprika.
2
Create a well in flour mixture with a spoon and place butter, egg and milk into well; mix until just blended. (Do not beat until smooth.)
3
Fill each muffin hole with a tablespoon of batter (you’ll have about 1/2 the batter left). Divide cheese evenly over centre of each muffin, saving just enough cheese for a sparse topping. Continue filling muffin holes with batter so each is about 2/3 to 3/4 full; sprinkle muffins with remaining cheese.
4
Bake until a toothpick inserted in centre of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes; serve warm. Yields 1 muffin per serving.
