Cheese puffs are part of the New Zealand tradition of baking.
These muffins are a variation on the same theme and make a great, economical addition to your next drinks party. Taking pantry ingredients, plus some milk and cheese and an egg from the fridge you have these taste sensations!
Mini cheese muffins - makes 36
Ingredients
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup cooked bacon, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 cups grated tasty cheddar cheese
11/2 cups milk
Extra cheese for garnish, we used 100g Blue Vein, crumbled
Method
Lightly beat the egg, salt and olive oil and place to one side.
Sift flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Mix in cheese,
parsley and bacon bits into the flour mixture. Make a well in the
centre and add the egg mixture and the milk. Mix together gently,
do not over-mix.
Spoon into small muffin tins - sprinkle with extra cheese.
Bake 190degC until golden brown - allow 15-18 minutes.
Once cooked, turn out of tins and cover with a cloth.
When these muffins have cooled, slit them 3/4 open and place a
small slice of brie inside the muffin. Reheat in a hot oven till
the cheese melts - this will only take a few minutes and you have
an irresistible nibble that will not break the bank.
