Equipment

  • 1 Oven
  • 1 muffin tray
  • 1 patty pans
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups self-raising flour
  • 1 whole onion, chopped small size
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 red capsicum (sweet pepper) sauteed prior
  • 8 whole olives, deseeded optional
  • 1 cup grated cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 tbsp parsley, chopped finely
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chives, chopped finely
  • 125 grams bacon, diced optional

Instructions
 

  • Chop the herbs, onion and capsicum.
  • Preheat oven to 200C (400F).
  • Sautee the onion & capsicum (and meat if included) gently over a low heat until cooked through.
  • Whisk the egg together with the milk in a small bowl or jug.
  • Grate one cup of cheese.
  • Mix the herbs, flour and cheese together in a large mixing bowl. Add a pinch each of salt, pepper and chilli (optional).
  • Once cooked, mix the sauteed ingredients through the dry ingredients.
  • Fold the egg & milk mixture through the dry ingredients, ensuring everything is well-blended.
  • Line your muffin tray with patty pans, and add 2 heaped spoonfuls of mixture to each.
  • Cook for 15 minutes at 200C (400F).
  • Remove from oven and place muffins on cooling rack.
  • When the muffins have cooled completely, remove the patty pans.
  • Muffins will keep fresh for 3 days in the fridge (keep in a sealed container) or can be frozen.

Notes

Having eggs and milk at room temperature helps make a smooth mixture that traps air and expands when heated in the oven. That expansion makes your muffins fluffy and light.
You can add salt, pepper and chilli to suit your taste- or leave them all out if you prefer.
Meat is optional. A small handful of finely chopped bacon, ham, chorizo or similar can be thrown in to the sautee mix.
