Ingredients:

1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 tsp salt
5g
1 egg
50g
1.50 cups milk (1% fat)
360g
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
20g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Baking Tray:
Lightly grease a muffin tin or a baking tray with a non-stick spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the salt in the flour.
4. Add Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Add the milk and olive oil to the beaten egg and whisk until well combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the flour and salt. Stir until you get a smooth batter.
6. Add Cheese and Parsley:
Fold in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley into the batter. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
7. Fill the Mold:
Using a spoon or a batter scoop, fill each section of the muffin tin about 2/3 full with the batter.
8. Bake:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown and have risen.
9. Cool:
Remove the puffs from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
These herb and cheese puffs are best served warm. Enjoy them on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice.

Tips:

- Preheat the oven: Ensure your oven is preheated to the right temperature to promote even baking and perfect puffing.

- Use room temperature ingredients: Let your egg and milk come to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smoother batter.

- Do not overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined to avoid tough puffs.

- Grease your baking pan: Lightly grease your muffin tin or baking tray to make sure the puffs come out easily after baking.

- Bake until golden: Keep an eye on the puffs and bake them until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

- Enjoy fresh: These puffs are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when they are warm and the cheese is perfectly melted.

These herb and cheese puffs are not only easy to prepare but also incredibly tasty. Whether you're hosting a gathering or just in the mood for a delicious snack, these puffs are sure to satisfy. Enjoy them warm and watch them disappear in no time!
