Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk

Cheese

  • 3/4 cup shredded cheese (a mix of mozzarella and cheddar recommended)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour with beaten eggs and milk. Mix well until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring that the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. Add Cheese: Fold in about half of the shredded cheese gently into the batter to evenly distribute the cheesy flavor throughout the mixture.
  3. Prepare Steaming Setup: Lightly grease small heatproof molds or silicone muffin cups. Pour the batter evenly into each mold, filling about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  4. Steam the Mushi Pan: Place the molds in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam on medium-high heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops look set and fluffy.
  5. Add Remaining Cheese and Finish Steaming: Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of each steamed mushi pan, cover again, and steam for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and slightly stretches on the surface.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the molds carefully from the steamer and allow the mushi pan to cool slightly before removing. Serve warm for the best fluffy and cheesy experience.

Notes

  • Use a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheese for the best creamy and tangy flavor combination.
  • Ensure that the steamer lid is covered with a cloth to prevent water droplets from dripping onto the mushi pan, which could affect its texture.
  • If you don’t have a steamer, you can improvise with a large pot and a heatproof rack or plate.
  • These are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days, reheating gently before serving.
