Ingredients:
- 200 g flour
- 200 ml milk

- 2 tablespoons oil (preferably sunflower or olive)
- 1 packet baking powder
- 100 g Sofia cheese (cut into cubes)
- 3 medium potatoes (boiled and diced)

A bit of history:
Muffins are a dish originating from Anglo-Saxon cuisine, but they have evolved over time into many varieties and recipes. They are often served as a snack or a quick breakfast. The combination of savory ingredients like cheese and potatoes with sweeter ones is an innovative approach that has gained popularity in many culinary cultures.
Step by step:
1. Preparing the ingredients:
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a uniform mixture. Peel and boil the potatoes until soft, then let them cool slightly before dicing.
2. Preparing the mixture:
In a large bowl, beat the eggs well with the milk and oil. It is essential to obtain a homogeneous emulsion that helps the muffins rise and gives them texture. Add the diced Sofia cheese and boiled potatoes, mixing gently to avoid mashing the potatoes.
3. Mixing the dry ingredients:
In another bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder. This will be the base of your muffins, and it is important to sift them to avoid lumps.
4. Combining the ingredients:
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and mix gently until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not overmix; it is important to keep air in the mixture for fluffy muffins.
5. Preparing the tray:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (medium heat). Grease the muffin tins with a drop of oil to prevent sticking. If you prefer, you can use silicone muffin molds that do not require greasing.
6. Filling the molds:
Fill the molds with the mixture, leaving a little space at the top to allow the muffins to rise beautifully during baking.
7. Baking:
Place the tray in the preheated oven and let the muffins bake for 30 minutes, or until they are golden and firm to the touch. You can check them with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, they are ready!
8. Cooling and serving:
After removing them from the oven, let the muffins cool slightly in the tray, then transfer them to a cooling rack. You can serve them warm or cold, with a fresh salad on the side or even with a yogurt dip.
Practical tips:
- Variations: You can add olives, bell peppers, or herbs to customize the recipe. You can also experiment with different types of cheese.
- Snacks: These muffins can be an excellent base for an appetizer, adding a few slices of ham or prosciutto.
- Storage: Muffins keep well in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to 3 days.
Nutritional benefits:
These muffins are a good source of carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats, thanks to ingredients like eggs and cheese. The potatoes contribute fiber and vitamins, making them a nutritious choice for the whole family.
Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use other types of cheese? Yes, you can replace Sofia cheese with any cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella or cheddar.
- Can I make the muffins vegan? Yes, you can use plant-based milk and egg substitutes, such as banana puree or soy yogurt.
