Muffins cheese, tomatoes & herbs

I made these savory muffins for the party of a friend of mine who just bought a house. Since we planned to go to her immediately after work, I needed something that could prepare the night before, was easily transportable and does not require to be kept in the refrigerator. Then we go I got this idea! The combinations of flavors that you can use are endless. Here I have drawn inspiration using Italian cherry tomatoes, basil and oregano.

INGREDIENTS (for 12 muffins)

• 275 gr white flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon
• 225 ml milk salt
• 110 gr butter, melted 2 eggs
• 20 cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
• 100 grams of grated cheddar cheese (or you can use the Swiss cheese)
• 5 leaves of fresh basil chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried basil)
• 1 teaspoon dried Orgiano
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Preheat the oven to 200 ° C and place 12 muffin cups on a baking pan (if using a pan with holes already in place will be easier). Put the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and mix. In another bowl, beat eggs, milk, melted butter and add the tomatoes and cheese.

Gradually, add the flour, baking powder and salt to the wet ingredients, stirring carefully to mix evenly. Your dough will be very attractive at this point, but do not worry :-)

gently Divide the mixture among the 12 cups.

Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins will be clean. Let cool completely before serving and store in an airtight container. If you let them rest for a night, will develop an even more intense flavor. I've given a couple to my boyfriend to take them to the office for lunch the next day, and he has shown a high rating :-)
