Muffins with Peas and Sausage
To prepare these delicious muffins with peas and sausages, we will start by preparing the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder, grated parmesan, salt, and pepper. These ingredients will form the base of our recipe, providing a fine texture and savory taste. Then, we add the frozen peas and diced sausages, gently mixing to ensure they are evenly distributed in the mixture.
In a separate bowl, we will prepare the liquid ingredients. Whisk the two eggs with a whisk until fluffy, then add the milk (100 ml) and melted butter, constantly mixing to obtain a homogeneous mixture. It is important to let the butter cool slightly before adding it to the egg and milk mixture to avoid curdling the eggs.
Once the liquid mixture is well combined, we will pour it over the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix the batter. While it is normal for some lumps of flour to remain, avoid ruining the fluffy texture of the muffins. If you notice that the batter is too thick and the flour is not incorporating well, you can gradually add a tablespoon of milk until you achieve the right consistency.
Prepare the muffin molds by greasing them with butter or oil, then dusting them with a little flour to prevent sticking. Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to fill the molds with the batter, leaving a little space at the top, as the muffins will rise during baking.
Preheat the oven to a medium temperature, around 180 degrees Celsius. Once the oven is heated, place the muffin tray inside and let them bake for 30-35 minutes or until they become golden and firm to the touch. You can check if they are baked by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean, they are ready.
For an extra flavor boost, those who wish can sauté the peas with a little onion in oil before adding them to the mixture. Make sure the mixture is completely cooled before incorporating it to maintain the airy texture of the muffins. These muffins can be served warm, as an appetizer or snack, and are ideal for both breakfast and a quick nutrient-packed lunch. Enjoy them alongside a fresh salad or a flavored yogurt dip for an unforgettable culinary feast!
