Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
  • 1 tablespoon thyme leaves chopped finely
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk or milk
  • ½ cup tomatoes small dice (Roma is best)
  • ½ cup chives chopped finely
  • 4 oz Asiago cheese small dice or shredded
  • 2 oz unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • As needed melted garlic butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Make a garlic butter, by melting some butter and adding garlic powder or fresh garlic.
  • Spray two mini muffin tins with non-stick spray.
  • Melt 2 oz. of butter and set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and seasonings. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the egg, milk or buttermilk, tomatoes, chives, thyme and cheese.
  • Add the dry ingridents to the wet ingredients and fold in with a rubber spatula until just combined. Don't over mix!! This will result in tough rubbery muffins.
  • Tap the muffin pans on a table to tap the air out.
  • Scoop the mixture into the sprayed mini muffin pans ¾ of the way full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes. Check at the five minute mark. Use a toothpick to measure doneness. It should come out with a few moist crumbs. Don't over bake! Once out of the oven, immediately brush with some melted garlic butter, take out of the muffin pans and enjoy warm!
