SAVOURY PICNIC MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a eight-hole muffin tin with muffin cases. Coarsely grate the courgette into a fine sieve and use clean hands to squeeze out as much liquid as possible over the sink. Tip into a bowl with the spring onions, flour, roasted red pepper, most of the cheese and the rosemary, along with lots of black pepper and a pinch of salt.
• Crack the eggs into a jug, pour in the oil and top up with enough milk to make 300ml. Beat together, then pour into the courgette mixture and mix to a smooth batter. Divide between the cases, top with the remaining cheese and bake for 25-30 mins until risen, firm and golden brown on top. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack. Will keep for up to three days in an airtight container in the fridge.

SAVOURY MUFFINS WITH FETA CHEESE, ONION AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• You will need a 12 hole mini-muffin tin.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add in the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes till its softened and then remove from heat and leave it to cool.
• Once cool, add in the chopped feta cheese and rosemary and season with freshly ground black pepper (there is no need for salt since feta cheese is quite salty by itself) and give it a good mix.
• Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6/400F/200°C.
• Next for the muffin base, sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl.
• In another bowl beat the egg, then add in the milk and give it a good whisk again.
• Next, pour the egg mixture into the flour, using minimum number of folding movements (you should finish folding in 15 seconds and ignore the lumps in the mixture - do not overmix).
• Now gently add the onion mixture into the muffin mixture, folding in, as before, with as few strokes as possible.
• Arrange the muffin cases into the muffin tins them spoon the mixture into them.
• You may even spoon the mixture straight into the tins but they will have to be well-greased.
• Beat the second egg and brush the muffin tops with it.
• Bake them in the centre shelf of the oven for about 20 minutes, or until well risen and golden.
• Remove the muffins from the tins and serve immediately.
