Savoury muffins with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella. With a side dish of olives.

Olive and mozzarella savoury muffins

These gorgeous savoury muffins make a delicious snack and look impressive on a party table too. Oozing with the complimentary Mediterranean flavours of mozzarella cheese and olives, they’re also much easier than they look to prepare!

Here, the muffins are made with Fragata Stoneless Manzanilla olives filled with anchovy. The anchovy brings out the flavours beautifully. But if you enjoy these muffins, you might want to experiment with other flavours, such as our olives filled with jalapeno for a gently spicy kick, or olives filled with piquillo pepper for a subtle sweetness.

Whisk the eggs with milk and add a pinch of salt.

Pour in the sunflower oil and stir again.

Fold in the grated Parmesan. Then slice the olives and add to the mix with the mozzarella.
