60g Co-op British extra mature Cheddar, grated
½ x 25g pack basil, leaves only

6 Co-op mini mozzarellas, halved
12 Co-op pitted black olives, sliced

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/Gas 4
Grease a 12-hole muffin tin. Put the spinach in a sieve and pour over boiling water until it wilts
Leave to cool, then squeeze out the water
Put the grated cheeses, basil, spring onion and garlic in a food processor and blitz until breadcrumb-like
Add the spinach and blitz again; add the flour and baking powder, then pulse just enough to combine. Season well
Whisk the eggs and milk together and pour into the food processor
Pulse again until just combined, then pour into the tin
Cook for 30 mins, until the muffins are risen and just golden
Leave to cool for 5 mins, then remove from the tin and leave to cool fully on a wire rack
Decorate with the mini mozzarella balls and sliced olives for eyes, and sliced olives for the mouth
