Full English Breakfast

Hi, this recipe is my own and serves one, but can easily be scaled up for more! I have previously made an Easy full english and a Vegan full english , if you want to have a look at those too.  This was much faster to make than I had anticipated and everything came together at the just right time, which is always a bit of a worry with having so many pans on the go at once (and things under the grill too!). You can change up how you cook the egg (I did scrambled) but some other options are poached, boiled, fried or even baked eggs (think Shakshuka-style).  Traditionally, you may also have fried bread, fried or grilled tomatoes and black pudding, so feel free to add those too. And, is usually served with a nice cup of tea. Enjoy!

Cheesy Courgette and Sweetcorn Muffins

This is a recipe that I found in my 'Cool Kids Cook' recipe book. These muffins were so delicious and are actually quite healthy as well. But if you aren't a fan of some of the ingredients here are a few ways that you can switch up the recipe:
-Swap cheeses - any hard cheese will work
-Try using grated pumpkin,carrot or beetroot instead of courgette
-Add nuts instead of sweetcorn
-A tsp of finely chopped thyme or rosemary would be good here too
-Sprinkle with rolled oats instead of the seeds
-For super-healthy muffins use self-raising wholemeal flour instead of white
SIDE NOTE: All of these ideas are from the book not me.

Dietary Info:
-Contains Nuts (if you choose to add them){Though if you are allergic to nuts you may be allergic to seeds as well so...}
-Contains Gluten
-Suitable for Vegetarians
-Contains Dairy



Ingredients:
-7 tbsp olive,rapeseed (canola) or sunflower oil, plus a little extra for greasing the tray , if needed. [I used extra virgin olive oil]
-2 medium eggs
-4 tbsp natural (plain) yogurt [I used Greek style yogurt]
-200g/scant 1+1/2 cups self-raising flour
-200g/scant 7oz courgettes (zucchini) washed really well
-100g/3+1/2oz mature Cheddar cheese, or a mix of Cheddar and Parmesan cheese [I used Mature Cheddar only]
-100g/3/4cup sweetcorn, frozen or canned [I used frozen]
-2 tbsp pumpkin or sunflower seeds [I used a mixed bag of seeds that contained pumpkin and sunflower seeds as well as a few others.]

Method:
1:Preheat the oven to 170℃/320℉/Gas 3/150℃ Fan.
2:Grease a 12-hole muffin tray or line the holes with paper cases if you prefer.[I used the paper cases]
3:Put the oil,eggs and yogurt into a large mixing bowl and mix well with a fork.
4:Now measure out the flour in a seperate bowl.
5:Grate the courgettes and cheese on the coarse side of your grater. [My grater only has one side so I used that]
6:Tip the flour,courgette,cheese and sweetcorn into the bowl with the egg mixture and give it a quick stir.
7:Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases/tray straightaway and sprinkle with the seeds.
8:Bake in the hot oven for 25-30 mins [Mine took 30mins], or until the muffins are ready. You can check with a skewer.
9:When they are ready take out of the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.When you first eat them, they might be a little wet from the courgette so don't worry they are cooked through; it's just the veg making them wet.
