Ingredients
3 1/2 oz or 100g frozen spinach2 2/3 oz or 75g feta3 1/2 oz or 100g extra sharp cheddar2 tomatoes2 cups or 250g flourSea salt flakes2 teaspoons baking powder2 eggs1/4 cup or 60ml olive oil1 cup or 240ml milkSeveral sprigs fresh thymeBlack pepper
Preheat your oven to 350°F or 180°C and grease your muffin pan liberally with non-stick spray or butter.
Thaw your spinach with a few zaps in the microwave. Or allow to thaw naturally, if you have time. I never seem to. Allow to cool, if you zapped it too long.
Grate your cheddar cheese and crumble the feta.
Slice the tomatoes fairly thinly and leave to drain on some folded paper towels. You need 12 slice
Measure your flour, salt, baking powder, grated cheddar and some of the leaves off of your fresh thyme sprigs into a large mixing bowl and mix well.
Fold your wet ingredients into your dry ones until just mixed.
Fold in the crumbled feta.
Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups.
Pat the tomato slices really dry with another paper towel and top each cup of batter with one.
Sprinkle the tomato slices with a little more fresh thyme, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until you can see that the sides are turning golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Remove from the pan, loosening gently with a knife if necessary, and cool further on a wire rack.
