Ingredients

  • 500 ml (2 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) baking powder
  • 1.25 ml (¼ tsp) baking soda
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) garlic powder
  • 10 ml (2 tsp) onion powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 80 ml (1/3 cup) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1.25 ml (¼ tsp) nutmeg
  • Freshly ground pepper

  • 430 ml (1 ¾ cups) Saputo Mozzarellissima cheese, grated

  1. Butter and flour 12 muffin moulds. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).

  6. Divide the batter among the muffin moulds and top with remaining cheese. Bake in the oven 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
