Savoury Muffins...Mmmm



INGREDIENTS
  • 3 Cups self raising flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • water or milk for consistency
  • 1/2 cup diced bacon
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 cup grated tasty cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
METHOD

  1. Preheat oven to 180 deg C
  2. In a large mixing bowl put the flour in and make a well. Lightly beat eggs and mix into the flour with salt and pepper, adding the milk or water as needed to form a thick batter.
  3. Mix in remaining ingredients, saving a little of the cheese. Spoon mixture into muffin trays or individual ramekins, and top with remaining cheese.
  4. Place in oven and bake for 20 mins, or until golden brown. Check if they are done inside by inserting a wooden skewer into one muffin and pulling it out. If the skewer is clean then they're ready.
-Enjoy!

Easy one to make thats always a winner. I handed these out at a social gathering recently and i used puff pastry bases to make them a cross between muffins and quiches. My mate PJ wanted the recipe (probably so his girlfriend could bake them for him) so here it is.

Variations are boundless, you can put anything you want into the mix besides the bacon, onion and cheese. Leftover roasts, veges, different cheeses, different meats, you name it. If its savoury, you can muffin it. Put chocolate or berries and/or jam into the mix with sugar and you got sweet muffins.
