Notes

Be sure to use a STRONG cheese, I use an Extra Mature Cheddar. These muffins really need this to give flavour. (Parmesan would work really well too)
I like to reserve a handful of cheese from the main mixture and sprinkle on top of the scooped muffins
You can use muffin cases if you prefer but as these muffins don't have a huge amount of oil in the mixture, they can stick a little to the paper
Use a quite bland oil like sunflower or vegetable oil. I wouldn't recommend olive oil as the taste will be very strong
Do try to buy fresh chives, they really make the taste of this. If you don't have them, you can substitute a small, finely chopped red or white onion
