Swathi’s Triple Cheese Muffins

Makes about 24 muffins

150 ml sunflower oil
1 large egg
350 ml buttermilk (this is the Polish/German kind of buttermilk that you
can drink as well. I get it from the Polish section in the supermarket
and it’s called “maslanka”)
500 g self-raising flour
3 tea spoons mustard (the grainy one)
140 g cheddar, grated
1 bunch of spring onions, sliced (last time I fried a courgette and an
onion instead)
25 g parmesan
200 g Feta in cubes (I use less, maybe 120 g as I thought it was a bit
too much first time I tried this recipe)
I throw in some sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds as well.

Mix egg, oil, buttermilk, mustard.
Mix flour, half a teaspoon of salt, cheddar, spring onions (or whatever
vegetables you’re using), half the parmesan.
Combine wet and dry ingredients + add Feta cubes.
Put into muffin tins. Scatter remaining parmesan on top.
Bake it for 20 mins, 180-200 Celsius temp.
