These parmesan muffins were one of the hits of our holiday table this season, and I can’t wait to share the recipe with you!
I added lots of spring onions and other herbs and served them at Christmas dinner, and these mini-muffins made for a perfect addition to the bread plate. They’re almost like a little cheese biscuit. You could, of course, also serve them for brunch or breakfast – they are an easy savory side.
I am thinking of making them to go with tomato soup next.. stay warm, everyone!

Parmesan and herb muffins make for a great bread alternative at dinner or a savory side to go with soup or breakfast!
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups AP flour
- 1 egg
- 0.3 cup (+maybe a little more) milk
- 0.3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 0.3 cup chopped spring onion or chives
- 0.3 cup grated parmesan cheese (+ a little more for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Prepare mini muffin cups or tins and space them out on a baking sheet.
- It's important not to over-mix this batter! First, sift together the dry ingredients and spices. Then mix in egg, oil, milk, and fold in the cheese - just until combined. If batter seems a little dry, add a touch more milk.
- Scoop batter into muffin cups - about 2 tablespoons of batter in each. Top with extra spring onions and/or cheese.
- Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown on top. So more-ish!
I Love this idea and particularly love the little muffin cups! As I travelled last week I see that everyone is using baking papers – folded nicely of course – I might try this recipe with that idea. I bet this recipe is delicious. c
I love them too! Mini anything is great, in my book
Hope you enjoy, C – Happy New Year!
These sound perfect to serve alongside soups and salads. I’ve pinned, thank you.
Yay! Thanks, Karen.
Bought a mini muffin pan and was so looking forward to baking a little something and came across your delish sounding recipe. I’m afraid I was disappointed. Had to add another 1/3 c of milk, batter so dry and doubled the fresh rosemary…..still very bland. I may try again and add fresh thyme and a little more salt & white pepper…….or not and find another recipe that will suit my taste buds. Cooking and baking is such an individual experience, but thank you for taking the time to make this recipe.
Thank you so much for your feedback, Deb! Sometimes, I find that I need to add more milk/water/etc. to a recipe depending on location and altitude. Hope you find some additions that work for you!
