Method

Preheat a fan oven to 180°C and line a cupcake/muffin tray with cases or baking parchment.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cheese, meat (if chosen), baking powder, garlic powder, oregano, and basil. Stir with a fork and make a large well.
In a jug combine the milk, eggs, and olive oil.
Pour the half the liquid into the well, stir well and then pour in the remaining liquid and stir until you have a thick batter.
Divide the batter between the muffin cases.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Serve with tomatoes or tomato sauce.
