Ingredients
110 grams flour
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1/2 cup (120 grams) Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons melted butter (28 grams)
2 tablespoons oil (28 grams)
1/3 cup shredded/crumbled cheese, plus a little extra to sprinkle on top
2/3 cup of filling mix-ins, such as: crumbled bacon or sausage, vegetables like roast pumpkin or diced capsicum, sauteed greens, olives, scallions
Directions
- Preheat oven to 180 C fan-forced. Spray the 4 corner cups of a jumbo muffin tin with oil.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, spices and sugar. Once fully combined, toss through the shredded cheese.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In a Pyrex, whisk egg briefly before adding Greek yogurt and both fats (melted butter + oil), whisking until fully smooth.
- Combine gently: Pour wet into dry ingredients, folding together with a spatula a couple times before adding all mix-ins, stirring just until no dry streaks remain. This batter should be thick but spoonable — like cornbread batter, not runny pancake batter.
- Fill and top: Divide batter evenly among 4 jumbo muffin cups and top with remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20-24 minutes, until golden and a tester comes out clean. Rotate halfway for even browning if your oven tends to have hot spots.
- Cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then transfer to a rack. Sprinkle with flaky salt while still warm, if desired.
