Recipe type: American
Cuisine: Vegetarian
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 250 g flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate soda
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes (more or less to taste)
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 100 g cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 large red tomato, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 250 g natural yoghurt
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees celsius.
  2. Grease your muffin tin (I use a muffin tin with 6 large muffin holes)
  3. In a bowl mix together the flour, bicarbonate soda, baking powder, chilli flakes, parsley and salt. Stir these ingredients thoroughly so that the baking powder and bicarbonate soda are evenly distributed.
  4. Add the cheddar cheese and chopped onion to the bowl and stir through.
  5. In another bowl whisk together the eggs and yoghurt until a smooth batter forms.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together until just mixed (do not over mix, some lumps are ok).
  7. Pour mixture into 6 large muffin tins stopping 1 cm from the top.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes (every oven is different, your muffins are cooked when you can push a knife into the centre of a muffin and it comes out clean).
  9. Leave to sit for 10 minutes on a cooling tray before serving.
