Prepare Your Workspace
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it thoroughly with non-stick spray.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to ensure the leavening agents are evenly distributed.
Whisk Wet Ingredients
- In a separate medium bowl, lightly whisk the large eggs.
- Then, add the full-fat small curd cottage cheese, milk, and vegetable oil. Whisk these wet ingredients together until they are well combined.
Gently Bring it Together
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
Fold in Flavorful Add-ins
- Now, gently fold in your fresh dill, fresh chives, and crumbled feta cheese. Distribute them evenly throughout the batter without overworking it.
Bake to Golden Perfection
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Place the muffin tin into your preheated 400°F (200°C) oven and bake for 5-7 minutes.
- Then, without opening the oven door, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue to bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months. Avoid overmixing the batter for tender muffins, and use room temperature ingredients for a smoother result. The initial high heat bake helps achieve a golden crust.
