These savory muffins combine the creamy texture of cottage cheese with the aromatic flavor of fresh herbs, perfect for a snack or side dish.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with liners.
Using muffin liners ensures easy removal and less cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and dill.
Whisking the dry ingredients helps distribute the baking powder evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, cottage cheese, milk, melted butter, and onion.
Ensure the butter is slightly cooled before mixing to prevent cooking the egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin.
Filling each cup about 3/4 full ensures even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and spring back when touched in the center.
Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the muffins from becoming soggy.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Pair with a dollop of sour cream or a side of soup for a complete meal.
