SCALLION GOAT CHEESE MUFFINS

1 cup whole milk
4 ounces soft mild goat cheese
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 large egg
1 bunch scallions

Preheat oven to 400F, and butter twelve 1/3-cup muffin cups. In a
small bowl stir together 2 tablespoons milk and goat cheese until
combined. Into a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, and
salt. Melt butter and in another small bowl whisk together with
remaining milk and egg. Finely chop enough scallions to measure 1 cup.
Stir butter mixture and scallions into flour mixture until just combined.
Divide half of batter evenly among muffin cups and top each with
about 2 teaspoons goat cheese filling. Divide remaining batter over
filling. Bake muffins in middle of oven until golden, and a tester comes
out clean, about 20 minutes.
