Muffins with tomato confit, Parmesan and Basil

An alternative to the usual pizza appetizer. Parmesan muffins, Basil and tomato confit, with their unique flavor between sweet and sour. If you don't feel like preparing the tomato confit (but I suggest you make them, they are very good, You can save it and once you get your own oven for an hour and a half), You can replace them with Sun-dried tomatoes or olive oil well washed and dried.

Ingredients for 12 muffins about:

• 300 grams of 00 flour
• 2 teaspoons (abundant) of baking powder
• 25 Piccadilly tomatoes
• Timo as required

• a handful of basil leaves
• 100 grams of shredded PDO parmigiano reggiano
• 200 ml of milk
• an egg
• 6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (Lightweight)
• among the accessories: 12 muffin cups

Prepare (well in advance) the confit tomatoes: wash and chop the tomatoes and place them on a baking sheet lightly coated: Salt them, pepper and sprinkle with a pinch of sugar, salt and thyme and place them in the oven at 150 degrees for about an hour and a half.
For muffins, preheat the oven to 180 degrees fan assisted. Cut the tomato confit and Basil. Put in a bowl the flour sifted with baking powder, the Parmesan, the egg, the oil and milk and stir with a spoon until the dough is well mixed, without working it too. Salt, pepper and add the tomatoes and Basil. Mix well and pour the mixture into the baking cups, filling them up to three-quarters and putting over each cupcake a tomato confit. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve still warm muffins.
