    Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Spray a 12-hole muffin tin with the oil spray. Evenly divide the tomatoes among the holes, and top each one with around 2 tsp of the feta or goat’s cheese.

I cooked mine for an extra 5 mins and they were still a bit wet and difficult to get out the tray. But they tasted yummy!! Will try draining tomatoes next time to get as much moisture out as possible and use butter on the muffin tray.

These were simply amazing. So easy to make and low enough in calories to have as a snack on a diet! I loved them and will be making more. Had mine scattered with chopped. basil. They’d make an excellent first course for a summer meal or just with salad. I did season mind with lots of black pepper…

These are nice and simple. The first time I made them I found that the cherry tomatoes made the muffins a bit soggy. So I left them out next time and think it was an improvement. I use butter to grease the tin instead of spray, and I find they pop out pretty cleanly.
