4.Sift the flours and baking powder, then fold into the butter mixture. Season with salt and pepper, then add the feijoas and thyme leaves. Mix until just combined.
5.Spoon the batter into the muffin tins to three-quarter fill. Add a feijoa slice to the top of each and crumble over a generous helping of blue cheese
6.Bake for 15-20 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
7.Rest the muffins for 5 minutes before removing from the tins.
  • If your muffin tins are getting old and sticky, pop a small square of baking paper in the bottom of each hole to help return them to non-stick status.
