• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
• Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
• In another bowl, stir together the butter, egg, milk, zucchini, and garlic until well blended. Mix the flour mixture into the milk mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring between additions, until the flour mixture is incorporated. Fold in the Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and crumbled bacon, and pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups.

MEDITERRANEAN SAVOURY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C/320°F fan).
• Brush a 12 hole standard muffin tin generously with butter
• Whisk Dry ingredients in a bowl.
• Whisk Wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
• Pour Wet into the Dry ingredients bowl. Mix 8 times.
• Add cheese, feta, sun dried tomato, capsicum, olives and green onion. Mix as few times as possible just to incorporate remaining bits of flour - no more than 7 big stirs (secret to soft muffs).
• Divide between 12 holes in muffin in (I use an ice cream scooper). Batter should be thick and fill muffin tin slightly mounded (see video)
• Bake for 25 minutes or until the muffins are golden and crusty and spring back when touched in the centre.
• Cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack. Serve warm for optimum experience!

COURGETTE & FETA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line 9 holes of a muffin tray with paper cases. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cumin and 1/4 tsp salt.
• In a jug, whisk together the egg, buttermilk and oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and add the courgette and half the feta. Stir to just combine, but don't overmix.
• Divide the mixture between the muffin cases, and top with the remaining feta. Bake for 18-20 mins until golden brown. A skewer inserted to the centre of a muffin should come out clean and dry when the muffins are cooked. Cool on a wire rack. Will keep for 2 days in an airtight container.

TERRY'S FETA-BACON ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350; spray 9x13 pan with non-stick spray.
• Cut ends off top and bottom of zucchini; then cut in half lengthwise and scoop out a little of the middle (helps topping stay in place).
• Place these long pieces into a 9x13 pan, cut side up. Use a fork to prick each piece about 8 times. Brush with olive oil. Set aside.
• Prepare topping: mix together garlic, parsley, black pepper, bacon and feta.
• Place topping evenly over all 8 pieces of zucchini.
• Sprinkle tops with Parmesan Cheese.
• Bake 350 for 20-24 minutes or until a fork inserted into the zucchini feels tender.
• APPETIZER SUGGESTION: Rather than logs, cut into 1/4" rounds. Place a little topping onto each individual serving; bake as directed.
