This is a “spring” variation on the savory muffins my husband has made for years. It has a light texture almost like a popover and tastes best eaten hot right from the oven. —Angela Buchanan, Boulder, Colorado

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup fat-free milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons minced chives

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the feta cheese and chives.
Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.

These muffins are fabulous. I added about 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Next time I will add more chives than recommended.
