"These make great party nibbles or just to eat by themselves without the Brie filling. Another recipe from "Annabelle Cooks" In response to another chef's question I have added sugar as an optional ingredient. The original recipe does not have it. I guess it is personal taste :)"

ingredients

1 egg
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ cup olive oil
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
2 cups tasty cheddar cheese (grated)
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
¹⁄₂ cup cooked bacon (finely chopped)
1 ¹⁄₂ cups milk
grated cheddar cheese, extra for topping (or use crumbled blue vein for a change)
125 g brie cheese (sliced)

directions

Pre heat the oven to 190'C/375'F.
Beat the egg, salt and oil together lightly and set aside.
Sift together the flour and baking powder into a bowl, stir in the sugar (if using) and then mix in the bacon, cheese and parsley.
Make a well in the centre and add in the egg mixture and milk.
Mix until just combined - do not over mix.
Spoon into mini muffin tins and sprinkle with the extra cheese.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from oven and leave in tins for 5 mins before turning out onto a rack and cover with a cloth.
When they have cooled, make a slit in them and place in it a small slice of Brie.
When required, reheat in a hot oven until the cheese melts. This will only take a few minutes.

These were yummy!! I didn't use any brie in them afterall because when I tasted the brie I had it was bitter....must have had it too long. So I just served them as it! They were great!! I would definitely make these again! I would add a bit more salt though ...they needed a bit more without the brie. Easy to make too!! Almost like yeast rolls without all the effort!!

I made these and served them with soup (minestrone soup and sweet potato and leek soup) last night for a casual meal with friends and they were sensational! They took about 3 minutes to put together, 16 minutes to cook and were light and very tasty. I will definitely be making these again. Many thanks.
