Breaky in 10 mins

Muffin is the most easy thing to bake. It's always volatile, and it can be either savoury or sweet.
This is my first savoury muffin, and it only took me 10 mins to prepare and ready in 20 mins time. Perfect for a breakfast on the bed, breakfast on the go, or whatever you like. This is actually a tomato and basil muffin, the classic italian muffin, but i don't have any basil, instead i have a bunch of chives sitting in my fridge, so the tomato and chives muffins are born!!
I'm sure if i have some cheese i would throw them in the muffins too. ( these are really volatile recipe!!)

Pizza in a cup

I love baking muffins, they're easy to bake, often involved only 1 bowl and 1 spatula, hence the easy clean up, easy on the mouth, easy on the wasite line...( IF, you pick the right one, or else muffins can be very very distructive on the waisteline!). And, they can be either savoury or sweet. We make pizza the other night, and there are bits and pieces of left over pizza's topping in the fridge that i really wanted to get rid. Hence, i came across this savaury muffin from www.taste.com.au, and make some modification to clean up my fridge!! haha! They look cute, taste great, and it's the perfect finger food for a party crowd!

Little Blue Gems

Best breakfast in the world, and full of antioxidant! I particularly like to use fresh berries in this muffins as i like the colour when they "bleed". You can use any berries you like, and i find these muffins taste even nicer the 2nd day, reheated in the microwave. Somehow it will absorb more flavour.
