* 00g plain flour
* 100g wholemeal flour
* 2 tsp baking powder
* Herbs - parsley/oregano/whatever you’ve got - a handful of chopped fresh herbs, or about a tbsp of dried.
* Tin of chopped tomatoes
* 200g-ish Cheddar Cheese
* 2 eggs beaten
* 200ml milk
* 2 tbsp olive oil

Sift flours and baking powder together into a large mixing bowl (or just swirl them round the bowl to mix them up if you’re lazy like me).
In another bowl or jug, beat the eggs, milk and oil together.
Make a well in the flour mixture, and slowly pour in the liquid, stirring until it comes together in a batter (don’t worry if its a bit lumpy).
Drain the tinned tomatoes, discard the juice (make yourself a bloody mary if you want!) and stir the tomatoes into the batter, along with the herbs. (You could use sundried tomatoes if you want)
Grate half the cheese, and chop the rest, stirring it into the batter well. You can grate it all if you want, but I like the little melty chunks of cheese - yum! I also frequently put more than the stated amount of cheese in, and sometimes use parmesan as well/instead.
Put spoonfuls of mixture into paper cases in a bun/muffin tin - I use large muffin cases, and this makes 12, but you could use smaller cases and make more.
Bake in preheated oven at Gas Mark 5 for about 15 mins, or until risen and golden brown.
Delicious served warm or cold!
