 2 cups wholemeal self-raising flour
 2 cups red capsicum, chopped
 1 cup green capsicum, chopped
 1 cup tinned pineapple pieces, canned in natural juice
 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
 2 cups light tasty cheese, grated
 20 slices lean ham, chopped
 4 eggs, extra large
 1 cup canola oil
 1 ½ cups milk, reduced-fat
 4 tbsp tomato paste, salt-reduced
 Cooking oil spray, to grease muffin tins

Method

1

Preheat fan-forced oven to 220°C.

2

Sift the flours into a bowl. Add capsicum, pineapple,
parsley, cheese and ham and mix together.

3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, milk and tomato paste together.

4

Fold the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined.

5

Lightly coat muffin tins with canola or olive oil spray.

6

Spoon even amounts of the mixture into the muffin tins and finish by sprinkling a little more cheese on top.
