Tips:
- when buying cheese for baking in products like this, aim for lower-priced mature or very mature - they add much more flavour. Hard cheeses freeze well; buy in budget-friendly large portions and cut into segments for your household; place in sealable freezer bags
- wholemeal flour adds fibre, making these muffins healthier, as would fresh, not dried, herbs
