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.
