The perfect snack or lunch accompaniment with a salad. Every time I make these muffins I do so with the intention of having them in the fridge for the week so that if any one's hungry there's something delicious to hand. However, no sooner are these made, they are eaten. They are incredibly simple with easy to find supermarket ingredients. The pesto adds another taste dimension to the egg and they are even a favourite amongst my children too.
