Half quiche, half muffin
This came about because I forgot potatoes for the potato bruschetta I was meant to prepare, and my partner wanted quiche. It’s not quite a quiche consistency, but it’s also not too fluffy – I’m not entirely sure what to call these, but they’re delicious
Zero Waste Tips & Quick Tricks:
- Most flours come in paper packaging – this is a great alternative if you can’t find zero waste flours
- If you don’t like some of the ingredients, play around with different herbs, spices and vegetables – zucchini would be great!
Tomato Basil & Onion Muffins
Makes 12
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 35 mins
1/4 bunch basil, chopped
1/2 red onion, diced
2 tomatoes, diced
1 tbsp oregano
2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 C besan flour
1/2 C brown rice flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 C water
- Preheat oven to 200’C (190′ fan forced) – grease or line 12 muffin trays.
- Add all ingredients (except flours, baking powder and water) into a bowl and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Use a sifter to incorporate the flours and baking powder into the bowl, mix through. Add 1 C of the water and stir thoroughly – it should be a thick pancake batter consistency. If needed, add the 1/4 C water
- Use 1/3 C measurements to evenly spread the mixture into 12 muffin cases. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (they should feel dense, but not stodgy)
- Serve sprinkled with extra basil and/or chutney
