COTTAGE CHEESE ONION MUFFINS



Cottage Cheese Onion Muffins image

This recipe comes from The Original Vidalia Onion Cookbook that I received years ago with a gift box of Vidalia onions. While I haven't made these muffins yet, I love muffins and this sounds like something that would be great with a steak dinner. I'm posting it here since I always forget to dig through my cookbooks now that there are so many great recipes online.

Time 25m

Yield 18 muffins, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons baking soda
2 tablespoons vidalia onions, chopped
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon chives
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup milk
1 cup small curd cottage cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Coat muffin tins with cooking spray.
  • Sift together flour, sugar and baking soda. Then add remaining ingredients, one at at time, in the order listed in the ingredients. Stir to incorporate each before adding the next.
  • Fill muffin tins 1/2 full and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  • Cool a few minutes before removing from muffin pan.
  • Serve with butter.

Tips:

  • Prep the Onions Properly: To avoid overpowering the muffins, ensure the onions are finely diced and sautéed until translucent and soft. This brings out their natural sweetness without any harshness.
  • Use Quality Cheese: Opt for flavorful, sharp cheddar cheese for a bolder taste. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Gruyère, to create unique flavor combinations.
  • Pay Attention to the Batter: Make sure the batter is well combined without overmixing. Overmixing can result in tough muffins. For a light and fluffy texture, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Muffin Pan Preparation: To prevent sticking and ensure evenly cooked muffins, grease or line the muffin cups with muffin liners. This small step ensures easy muffin removal and a professional presentation.
  • Perfect Baking Time: Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the muffins, so keep a close eye on them during the final minutes of baking.

Conclusion:

Onion cheese muffins are a delightful treat that combines savory and cheesy flavors. With minimal prep work and simple ingredients, these muffins are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a satisfying snack. Experiment with different cheese types, add-ins like diced ham or bell peppers, and even sprinkle some herbs for a personalized touch. These muffins are sure to become a favorite in your kitchen, offering a delightful blend of flavors and textures that will leave you craving more. Happy baking!
