With so much sunshine the tomatoes in the garden have ripened well and I love the sweet cherry varieties. To me the scent of summer is the green stalks of tomatoes and basil.
When it is so hot my family are more interested in savoury rather than sweet and so these cheesy muffins hit the spot. I’m using Manchego cheese but you can use a good cheddar cheese, if you do only add a pinch of salt as the cheese is already salted.The sweetness of the tomatoes make this a good choice for anyone who thinks muffins should only be sweet ones, I always add a little sugar to a recipe when I use tomatoes as it brings out even more of the sweetness in the fruit.
