Step-by-Step Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Red Onion and Red Wine Reduction
- Sauté the Onions: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add sliced red onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they caramelize (about 15 minutes).
- Add Red Wine: Pour in red wine and continue to cook until the wine has reduced and the onions have absorbed most of the liquid, creating a thick and flavorful mixture.
- Cool the Mixture: Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Muffin Batter
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and melted butter until fully combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
Step 3: Add the Flavor Components
- Fold in Gorgonzola: Add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese to the batter, reserving a few pieces for topping.
- Incorporate Onion Mixture: Gently fold in the cooled red onion and red wine reduction.
- Divide Batter: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Step 4: Bake and Finish
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Top with Extra Gorgonzola: Sprinkle the reserved Gorgonzola on top of each muffin for added flavor.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the muffins cool slightly before removing from the tin.
