- Preheat the oven to 200˚C/180˚C fan/gas mark 6 and line a muffin tin with 10 paper cases.
- Place the flour and baking powder in a large bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper then add the dried basil, sundried tomatoes, about 3/4 of the cheddar cheese and 3/4 of the mozzarella. Stir until well combined.
