This savoury muffin with parmesan cheese and pesto is not to be missed. It makes for an excellent alternative for the lunchbox.
50g butter, melted
6oz milk
200g self-raising flour
2 tbsp pesto sauce
85g parmesan cheese, grated
Pepper
2 eggs
Chives for garnish (optional)
Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas mark 4.
Grease a large muffin tray and set aside.
Melt the butter and mix with the milk.
Place the flour, pesto, parmesan cheese and pepper into a medium bowl.
Make a slight well in the centre, add the eggs and pour in the milk and butter mixture.
Very gently, using a rubber spatula fold the mixture rather than stir it.
Once well combined, portion the mixture into the prepared muffin trays and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove and cool on baking rack. Add the chive garnish if using.
