Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

1/4 cup diced salami

1/4 cup diced prosciutto

1/4 cup chopped olives (green or black)

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

1/2 cup buttermilk

2 large eggs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it with non-stick spray for easy removal.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Ensure the dry ingredients are well mixed to promote even rising.

      Add Cheeses and Meats: Carefully fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, crumbled goat cheese, diced salami, prosciutto, olives, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes into the flour mixture. Mix gently, ensuring that each ingredient is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

        Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, large eggs, and melted unsalted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

          Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Take care not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy for the best texture.

            Spoon into Muffin Tin: Evenly distribute the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow for rising. For an extra burst of flavor and a touch of color, sprinkle the tops with chopped fresh parsley.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Afterward, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. These muffins can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature—perfect for any gathering!
