Cheese and Salami Muffins

Ready grated cheese makes this a quick and easy recipe. The main thing with muffins is not to over mix. Just combine the wet and dry ingredients. Don't be tempted to stir them energetically.

1 1/2 cups self raising flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons curry powder
pinch cayenne pepper
2 cups grated tasty cheddar
3 tablespoons finely chopped salami
1 tablespoon pesto (optional but nice)
1 large egg
1 cup milk
toasted sesame seeds

Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Set aside a little of the cheese to put on top of the muffins. Add the rest to the flour with the salami and fold in.

Whisk together the pesto, egg and milk. Add to the dry ingredients and just combine.

Grease 12 medium muffin tins and spoon some of the mixture into each. Top with a pinch of cheese and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

Bake in a pre-heated 210 C oven for 15-20 minutes. The muffins are done when the mix springs back when pressed. The tops should be a golden brown.
