Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1⅓ cup / 150g grated halloumi cheese
1⅓ cup plus 1 tablespoon / 175g all-purpose flour
½ cup / 50g whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons nigella seeds
1½ teaspoons dried mint
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
7 tablespoons / 100ml olive oil
⅔ cup / 180g full-fat Greek-style yogurt
Salt and white pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C and line a muffin pan with 12 paper liners.
Place the halloumi, both flours, the baking powder, nigella seeds, and mint in a large mixing bowl and add 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and white pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and yogurt, then stir them into the flour mixture until just combined. Do not overmix, or the muffins will be dense.
Spoon the batter into the muffin liners and bake for about 20 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin emerges clean.
