Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. Warm about one-fifth of the olive oil in a small skillet over low heat, add the garlic and cook 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant and barely golden; take off the heat and let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper and thyme.
  4. Stir in three-quarters of the Parmesan, the parsley and the dill until the herbs are coated in flour.
  5. In a second bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, Greek yogurt, the remaining four-fifths of the olive oil and the cooled garlic with its oil.
  6. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and fold gently just until no dry flour remains; a few lumps are fine.
  7. Divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups and sprinkle the tops with the remaining quarter of the Parmesan.
  8. Bake 18 to 20 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then move the muffins to a rack and cool at least 5 more minutes before serving warm.
