This is a great flexible savoury muffin recipe – the main part of the recipe shows you how to make the muffin part, and the fillings and flavours are up to you!
Savoury muffins are an afternoon tea staple – that lovely cheesy base, which is great as is, but can be jazzed up with some additional toppings of your choice. Keep it vegetarian, or add bacon for a classic bacon and cheese muffin – its up to you!

Ingredients
- 1.5 cups self raising flour or regular flour and one teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 whole egg
- 200 grams cheese (a little less is ok - you can alter this to a cheddar/blue cheese mix, and fresh parmesan is also recommended).
- Savoury fillings: caramelised onions, chopped up cooked chorizo, spinach, roasted red pepper, roasted pumpkin/kumara, feta cubes. You can add almost anything you like.

Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients, this includes the cheese and savoury fillings. Mix carefully to avoid mashing all the ingredients together. You can add a pinch of paprika or black pepper to the mix to taste.
- Mix the wet ingredients well.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients together. Don't over mix, it should be a stiff mixture.
- Spoon into greased muffin tin, garnishing the top. (A slice of tomato and some grated cheese works well, as do pumpkin seeds)
- Cook at 190 degrees celcius for 20 minutes or until muffin coloured.

What quantity of additions would you use?
Good question! We tend to go by eye – not so many that the mix gets too heavy or seized up.
