Looking for a tasty and easy-to-make appetizer that will impress your guests? Look no further than these delicious Cheese-Stuffed Muffins! This dish is perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a fancy dinner party.

Ingredients (serves 6):

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to use a muffin tin with non-stick coating or line the muffin cups with paper liners to prevent sticking.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to evenly distribute the batter into the muffin cups.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vegetable oil, milk, and eggs.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
5. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives.
6. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Appearance and Taste:
These Cheese-Stuffed Muffins are a beautiful golden brown color with a cheesy center that oozes out when you take a bite. The muffins are light and fluffy with a slightly crispy exterior, and the chives add a fresh, herbaceous flavor.
