We're still working on the Mumsnet Cookbook (these things take a LONG time!) and we've had a request in from the publishers to test a recipe that's in the book in a slightly different way.
Here's the recipe in question as it currently reads in the book:
Golden wonder
Serves 4 adults
unsalted butter, for the dish
2 large (around 375g) courgettes, grated
3 rashers of bacon, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
140g self-raising flour
115ml vegetable oil
5 eggs, lightly beaten
80g cheese, grated
1 tsp thyme leaves
hearty grinding of black pepper
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/fan 160ºC/gas mark 4. Lightly butter a round ovenproof dish, about 20cm in diameter.
In a large bowl, mix the courgettes with the bacon, onion, flour, oil, eggs, cheese and thyme. Season well with black pepper. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and bake in the oven until golden on top, about 50 minutes.
Remove and serve. Or place the dish on a wire rack and wait until it has cooled, then slice into wedges and parcel out for lunches each day.
What we want to know instead is whether you could make them as muffins which might make for handy packed lunch portions so we need to know:
a) if it works in muffin tins or is a disaster.
b) how many muffins the recipe would make.
c) how long it takes in the oven, and at what oven temperature.
Is anyone free to have a go at this today/tomorrow for us and then give us feedback on the three issues a) b) and c) above?
