Cheesy Chive Courgette Muffins

I don't really make a lot of savoury bakes but I had some courgettes left and my husband who loves cheese and mustard was working from home so I thought I would make him some savoury muffins!

Well they were a success as he told me they tasted great in fact when I went back to take my photos for my blog this was all I had to take a photo of ......

They are simple to make and a tasty mid morning snack or for a light lunch. The cheese, chives and mustard pair really well and the courgette makes them really moist.

It's a great way to use up an odd courgette you may have lying around in the fridge.

Start by pre-heating the oven to 200 degrees centigrade (180 fan) then place 8 muffin liners in a muffin tray.

Grate the courgette and place in a large mixing bowl and add the chives (keep back a few for decoration),

Then add the grated cheese, flour, mustard, salt, pepper, oil, milk and eggs.

Mix until fully combined and no flour is visible and divide equally between the 8 muffin liners.

Sprinkle the remaining chives on the top of the muffins.

Bake for 25 minutes.
