Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ¾ cup milk (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini (not squeezed)
  • 2 minced scallions
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1¾ cup shredded aged cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin pan with non-stick baking cups or lightly spray with oil.
  2. Melt butter: Combine ¼ cup butter and minced garlic in a large heat-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals until melted.
  3. Wet ingredients: To the melted butter, add eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth. Add zucchini and scallions, stir to combine.
  4. Dry ingredients: Add flour and baking powder to the bowl. Stir until halfway incorporated. Add cheddar and Parmesan, stir gently to avoid overmixing.
  5. Bake: Divide batter into muffin cups and bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for another 20 minutes or until done. Cool before serving.

Notes

  • Butter: Salted or unsalted butter can be used.
  • Room temperature: Ensure eggs and milk are at room temperature to prevent hardening of melted butter.
  • Zucchini: Shred zucchini with skin on and do not squeeze out moisture.
  • Cheddar Cheese: Aged cheddar is recommended for best flavor.
  • Baking cups: Use non-stick parchment liners for easy removal.
  • Storage Tips: Enjoy within 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
