Mary Berry's Cheese Muffins Ingredients

• 275g self-raising flour
• One teaspoon of baking powder
• Half a teaspoon of salt
• 50g butter, melted
• One large free-range egg, beaten
• 250ml milk
• 75g Gruyère cheese, grated
• Bunch of basil, leaves only, chopped
• 75g pitted black olives, chopped
• Two tablespoons of sun-dried tomato paste

Method

Measure the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl, then mix the butter, egg and milk together in another bowl or jug.

Following this, pour in the wet ingredients and gently stir everything together using a fork.

Then loosely swirl in the sun-dried tomato paste until it creates a rippled effect through the batter.

Next, divide up the concoction into muffin cases and pop them in the oven.

Bake for about 18 minutes or until each muffin is a proud, golden dome.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before tucking into a nice, warm cheese muffin.
