Goat’s Cheese, Fig and Basil Muffins
![Rukmini Iyer’s Goat’s Cheese, Fig & Basil Muffins](https://thehappyfoodie.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/FIG_GOATSCHEESE_MINI__0408-scaled-2.jpg)
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.
