Ingredients
- 225g/8oz self-raising flour
- 1 leek, finely sliced
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 100g/3½oz half-fat cheddar, grated
- 175ml/scant ¹/₃ pint semi-skimmed milk
- 1 egg or egg replacement (optional)
- 50ml/3 tbsp olive oil
- 10 cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, leek, freshly ground black pepper and cheddar and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, egg and olive oil. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Grease ten muffin moulds and half-fill each with the mix.
- Prick each cherry tomato – this stops them popping when they cook – and press one tomato into the top of each spoonful of mix.
- Spoon the remaining mixture over each muffin to conceal the tomato. Cook for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
