Makes 12

1 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic minced
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup oil (or substitute 2 tbsp garlic oil for an equal amount of regular oil)
3 oz cream cheese softened
2 eggs lightly beaten
2 tbsp chives minced
2 tbsp sesame seeds toasted

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease the muffin tins.

In a small skillet, warm the butter over medium heat. Saute the garlic in the butter until it is tender and reserve it.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a bowl, and set it aside. In another bowl, beat together the milk, oil, cream cheese, and eggs. Stir in the chives and the reserved garlic. Add the flour mixture, and gently stir to combine.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Bake the muffins 20 minutes, or until they are nicely browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature.
