10 ingredients7 steps

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Set the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C, gas mark 4) Line a cupcake tin with paper cake cases.

    2. Step 2

      Place the flour and baking powder in a mixing bowl.

    3. Step 3

      In another bowl mix the eggs, oil, and milk together.

    4. 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.

    5. Step 5

      Divide the mixture between the cake cases and bake for 25 minutes until golden brown and just firm to the touch.

    6. Step 6

      Allow to cool completely. They will keep for 2 days in a cake tin.

    7. 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.

    Really tasty and filling, I would definitely make again

    Love this?

    Delicious and soft, lovely colour, and not too overpowering. Great with scrambled eggs!
    Only rated 4 as I would add some Parmesan too.
