Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients.
- Fold in the cheddar cheese if using. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- To make the herbed butter, mix the melted butter, Italian herbs, and garlic in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the warm bread cups with the herbed butter.
- Let the bread cups cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm.
Notes
Customize the bread cups with your favorite ingredients like olives, feta cheese, or sun-dried tomatoes for added flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
