12 servings

  • ¾ cup chopped fresh asparagus
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon dried marjoram
  • ¾ teaspoon ground thyme
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup finely chopped green onions
  • 3 tablespoons drained capers

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  • Place asparagus in a bowl with a small amount of water; cover and cook in microwave on High, 30 seconds at a time, just until tender. Drain asparagus; set aside to cool.
  • Whisk flour, marjoram, thyme, baking powder, baking soda, pepper, and salt together in a bowl. Beat egg in a separate bowl; beat in buttermilk, melted butter, and olive oil. Stir Cheddar cheese, green onions, capers, and asparagus into buttermilk mixture.
  • Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened; spoon mixture into prepared muffin cups 2/3 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for a few minutes; serve warm.
