Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 80 g brown rice flour
  • 80 g sorghum flour
  • 80 g tapioca starch flour
  • 25 g oat flour
  • 1 tsp ground psyllium husk or xanthan gum
  • 2 tsp GF baking powder
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • ¾ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¾ tsp dried oregano
  • ¾ tsp dried basil
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • 30 g fresh parmesan cheese (finely grated)
  • 250 g soured cream ((or full fat yoghurt if soured cream unavailable))
  • 3 large eggs (at room temperature (UK large))
  • 55 g melted butter
  • 80 g passata ((sieved tomato))
  • 110 g mature cheddar cheese (cut into tiny cubes)
  • 90 g sweetcorn kernels
  • 100 g grated mozzarella pizza cheese ((topping))
  • 110 g passata (in addition to the above (for topping))

Instruction

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180 C/350 F/Gas 4. Prepare a couple of muffin tins with muffin cases. 
  • Weigh and mix together the flours, xanthan gum/psyllium husk, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt and herbs, making sure any lumps are completely broken down (Tip : Weigh into an airtight container and shake vigorously to mix)
  • Add and stir in the Parmesan cheese.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the soured cream, eggs and melted butter until fully combined and smooth.
  • Add 80g Passata and whisk again.
  • Add the dry ingredients, cheddar cheese and sweetcorn and fold-in until evenly combined.
  • Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases (about two-thirds full) and smooth the tops. Then make a small dip in the centre of each with the tip of a knife/handle of a teaspoon.
  • Divide the remaining passata between the muffins, spooning a little on to the top of each (the dip will help to hold it).
  • Divide and sprinkle the mozzarella on top of the muffins.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until well risen and the top springs back to the touch (use the tip of a spatula or wooden spoon to test, so that you don't burn yourself on the cheese or tomato topping. Be careful not to over-bake.
  • Remove and place on a wire rack to cool or enjoy warm, fresh from the oven.
