Cheesy Green Onion Muffins

• 2 c. flour
• 1 T. baking powder
• ¼ tsp. black pepper
• 1 ¼ c. milk
• ¼ c. butter, melted
• 1 egg
• ¼ c. chopped green onions
• ½ c. shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• ¼ c. shredded Parmesan cheese

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and black pepper. In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and egg; stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the green onions and cheeses.

Fill a dozen muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.
