Ingredients

  • 2¼ cups280 gAll-purpose flour
  • 2⅛ tsp10 gBaking powder
  • ½ tsp2 gBaking soda
  • ½ tsp3 gSalt
  • ½ tsp1 gBlack pepper
  • ¾ tsp2 gPaprika (sweet or smoked)
  • 1¾ cups shredded200 gCheddar cheeseshredded
  • 1⅔ cups florets150 gBroccolifinely chopped
  • ½ cup chopped80 gYellow onionfinely diced
  • 2 large100 gEggs
  • 1 cup (240 ml)240 gMilk, 2%
  • ⅓ cup80 gSour cream
  • ⅓ cup75 gUnsalted buttermelted and cooled, plus 5 g softened for the pan
  • 1 tbsp15 gYellow mustard

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush a 12-cup muffin pan with a little of the softened butter (about 5 g of the butter total); melt the rest of the butter and let it cool.
  2. Set aside one quarter of the cheddar for the tops; the remaining three quarters goes into the batter.
  3. Microwave or steam the broccoli with the onion for 2 to 3 minutes until just tender, then spread them on a plate to cool and pat dry.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper and paprika.
  5. In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, sour cream, melted butter and mustard until smooth.
  6. Toss the cooled broccoli, onion and the three quarters of the cheddar into the flour mixture so they are coated.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and fold gently just until no dry flour remains; a lumpy batter is fine.
  8. Divide the batter among the 12 cups and sprinkle the reserved quarter of the cheddar over the tops.
  9. Bake 20 to 22 minutes, until golden and a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool in the pan 5 minutes, then move the muffins to a rack and cool at least 10 minutes more before serving.
