Cheese and Maltese Sausage Muffins

Chef’s Name: Stephanie Agius
Difficulty: Easy
Serves: 12 Servings

Ingredients

•⁠ ⁠300g all-purpose flour
•⁠ ⁠3 teaspoons baking powder
•⁠ ⁠100g cheddar, grated
•⁠ ⁠3 green onions, finely sliced
•⁠ ⁠1 teaspoon kosher salt
•⁠ ⁠½ teaspoon ground black pepper
•⁠ ⁠¼ teaspoon garlic granules
•⁠ ⁠¼ teaspoon onion granules
•⁠ ⁠1 egg
•⁠ ⁠100g Greek yogurt
•⁠ ⁠250ml milk
•⁠ ⁠40g melted butter
•⁠ ⁠200g Maltese sausage
•⁠ ⁠50g melted butter
•⁠ ⁠Parsley, finely chopped
•⁠ ⁠1 garlic clove

Method

In a large bowl, combine your all-purpose flour and baking powder and give it a whisk. Then add in your grated cheeses (keep a little bit for the topping), chopped green onions, salt, pepper, and any other additional seasonings you want to add. Give it all a good mix.

In another slightly smaller bowl, combine your melted butter, yogurt, milk, and egg. Whisk until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and add in the chopped crispy Maltese sausage bits (leaving a little handful for the topping). Combine using a spatula until everything is incorporated. You want a sticky but not runny dough.

Preheat your oven to 180°C/355°F (fan). Get some extra melted butter and brush your muffin tin so that the muffins don’t stick while cooking.

Using an ice cream scoop or two spoons, evenly dollop the mixture into the 12 muffin tin casings. Evenly top with your leftover grated cheddar and chopped sausage bits. Once your oven has reached temperature, place the tin in the oven for 25 minutes until the tops of your muffins are golden brown and the insides are light and fluffy.

Enjoy warm or cool!
