Hi there on Tuesday morning - back home after a visit to the Dentist - all is well.

Another nice recipe to share with you today.



Bacon Cheese and Leek Mini Muffins

Makes   30

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 short-cut bacon rashers, finely chopped*
  • 1 leek, halved, washed, dried, finely chopped
  • 2 cups self-raising flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 1/4 cup coarsely grated cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup extra light olive oil
  • 1/4 cup light sour cream
  • 2 eggs

Method

1.       Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly grease a 12 x 1 1/2-tablespoon (30ml) capacity mini muffin pan.
2.     Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add bacon and leek. Cook, stirring, for 6 minutes or until leek is soft and bacon is crisp. Drain. Allow to cool.
3.     Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl. Stir in sugar, cheese and bacon mixture. Whisk milk, oil, sour cream, eggs and pepper in a jug. Add to dry ingredients. Use a metal spoon to combine.
4.     Spoon mixture into muffin holes to almost fill them. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean. Stand for 5 minutes in pan before turning onto a wire rack. Repeat with remaining mixture. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

·         Hint: You can make these muffins in a 12 x 1/3-cup capacity muffin pan. Bake them at 200°C for 12 to 15 minutes. Makes 12.
·         * You can use salami

I can almost smell them cooking.

Enjoy that one too - I would love to share a recipe that you send to me - a favourite one or one you are going to try for Christmas. 

I found inspiration this morning in my Dentist - she is great - not young, but so very nice -  Thanks Liz. for a job well done.

I am indulging myself in a very quiet day at home on the computer, reading and perhaps some television or a DVD - I am tired so listening to this body of mine.
