Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 4. Line a 12 hole muffin tray with paper muffin cases.

  2. Mix together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, a pinch of salt and the chopped herbs, if using, in a large bowl. Stir in the cheddar and Parmesan and mix until combined.

  3. Beat the buttermilk, oil and egg together in a jug.

  4. Pour the liquid slowly into the dry ingredients and stir together lightly. Don't overmix as this will make the muffins heavy – a few smears of flour are fine.

  5. Squeeze the grated courgette to remove any the excess liquid. Stir the courgette, olives and chorizo (if using) into the mixture.

  6. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each muffin case. Sprinkle a little extra cheddar over each muffin. Top each muffin with half a cherry tomato and slightly press it into the mixture.

  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden-brown and cooked through. Cool for 5 minutes and serve.

Recipe Tips

Replace the cheddar cheese with your favourite hard cheese.

To make your own buttermilk, take the same quantity of milk and add a few drops of lemon juice.

Other delicious toppings might be chopped chillies or peppers.
