Ingredients

100ml olive oil

1 shallot, finely chopped

300g plain flour

1 level tbsp baking powder

15g caster sugar

2 level tsp dried oregano (or mixed herbs)

175g Extra Mature Cheddar grated

75g sun-dried tomatoes, drained and cut into pieces

50g pitted black olives, roughly chopped

2 large eggs

175ml semi-skimmed milk

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease two 6-hole muffin trays or line with paper muffin cases. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan and cook the shallot and bacon, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until cooked. Tip into a bowl and set aside.
2
Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Season with pepper and stir in the sugar, oregano or mixed herbs and most of the Cheddar.
3
Add the tomatoes, olives, bacon and shallots.
4
Lightly beat the eggs, milk and remaining oil and add to the bowl. Stir until just evenly mixed.
5
Transfer to the muffin cases. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese and bake for about 25 minutes.
