Cheese veggie donuts

 Cheese veggie donuts are a delightful combination of savory flavors and cheesy goodness. Here's a recipe for cheese veggie donuts:

Ingredients:

For the dough:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 tablespoon baking powder

- 1 teaspoon salt

- ½ teaspoon garlic powder

- ½ teaspoon onion powder

- 1 cup grated cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)

- ½ cup finely chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, spinach)

- 1 cup milk

- 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil

- 1 large egg

For the topping:

- ½ cup grated cheese

- Optional: Finely chopped herbs (such as parsley or chives)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a donut pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.

3. Add the grated cheese and chopped vegetables to the dry ingredients. Stir until they are evenly distributed.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter or vegetable oil, and egg.

5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

6. Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

7. Sprinkle grated cheese on top of each donut, ensuring it covers the surface. You can also add finely chopped herbs for added flavor and presentation.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Serve the cheese veggie donuts while still slightly warm. They can be enjoyed on their own or served with a dipping sauce of your choice.

These cheese veggie donuts make a delightful appetizer or snack. The combination of melted cheese and vegetables creates a savory and satisfying treat. Feel free to experiment with different cheese varieties and vegetables to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy!
