Goat’s Cheese, Fig and Basil Muffins
Introduction
This is a muffin version of my favourite canapé – introduced to me by my friend Charlotte at university, and rolled out at pretty much every party I’ve ever given since. The combination of goat’s cheese, fig and pesto with a squeeze of honey is just perfect – in the absence of small rounds of baguette for crostini, this makes an excellent alternative. You could also make these with feta instead of goat’s cheese.
