About the bake
These are so quick and easy to make and delicious for lunch or to serve with soup.
Method
Step 1
Set the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C, gas mark 4) Line a cupcake tin with paper cake cases.
Step 2
Place the flour and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
Step 3
In another bowl mix the eggs, oil, and milk together.
Step 4
Crumble the feta cheese finely into the flour and stir in the herbs and Gruyère cheese. Season with a little black pepper. Stir in the milk and egg mixture until evenly mixed but don’t worry if it is a little lumpy.
Step 5
Divide the mixture between the cake cases and bake for 25 minutes until golden brown and just firm to the touch.
Step 6
Allow to cool completely. They will keep for 2 days in a cake tin.
Step 7
If you would like to decorate the cupcakes a tasty option is to blend together cream cheese, basil leaves and garlic in a food processor until smooth. Season to taste and spread on the cakes. Decorate with baby basil leaves.
