How to Make Asiago Cheese Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease twelve 2 1/2-inch diameter muffin cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded Asiago cheese and 1/2 cup pepperoni slices.
  6. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
