A brilliant breakfast or brunch muffin. Serve them warm and cheesy.

Method
1. Cook the onion and bacon in a dash of oil in a frying pan until softened and cooked. Cool.
2. Sift the self-rising flour, mustard, salt and pepper into a large bowl. Stir in the parsley and 1 cup of the grated cheese. Make a well or hole in the centre.
3. Mix the onion mixture, Wattie’s Baked BeaNZ , eggs and milk together and pour into the dry ingredients. Stir gently to mix, adding the melted butter as you stir. Do not over-mix as the muffins will peak.
4. Divide the mixture evenly among 12 well-greased muffin tins and sprinkle the tops with a little of the remaining grated cheese.
5. Bake at 220°C for 15 minutes until well risen and golden. Cool in the tins for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cake rake. Serve warm.
