1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
2 cups tasty cheddar cheese (grated)
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1/2 cup cooked bacon (finely chopped)
1 1/2 cups milk
grated cheddar cheese, extra for topping (or use crumbled blue vein for a change)
125 g brie cheese (sliced)

Steps:

Pre heat the oven to 190'C/375'F.
Beat the egg, salt and oil together lightly and set aside.
Sift together the flour and baking powder into a bowl, stir in the sugar (if using) and then mix in the bacon, cheese and parsley.
Make a well in the centre and add in the egg mixture and milk.
Mix until just combined - do not over mix.
Spoon into mini muffin tins and sprinkle with the extra cheese.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from oven and leave in tins for 5 mins before turning out onto a rack and cover with a cloth.
When they have cooled, make a slit in them and place in it a small slice of Brie.
When required, reheat in a hot oven until the cheese melts. This will only take a few minutes.
