If you need to organize a snack or a rustic dinner with friends or a fun picnic, consider these leek muffins. They are very simple to prepare, light, and very tasty, and they are perfect when consumed with cold cuts or cheeses. I ate them with slices of salami. Mmmmmm!

- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- Half packet instant yeast for savory preparations (0.25 oz)
- 0.42 cups milk
- extra virgin olive oil

Tools
- 1 Pan
- 2 Bowls
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Sieve fine mesh
- 1 Wooden Spoon
- 2 Muffin Tins

Preparation of leek muffins
Clean the leek by removing the darker green part and the roots. Rinse it well under running water and slice it thinly.
In a pan, heat a drizzle of oil and a couple of tablespoons of water before adding the leek and a pinch of salt. Sauté for five minutes on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
Place some rice at the bottom of the muffin tin cavities before inserting the paper liners: this little trick will allow us to have clean liners after baking.
Sift the flour together with the yeast into a bowl.
Crack the eggs into a second bowl, add a tablespoon of oil (0.2 oz), the milk, and mix with a small whisk.
Then add the leeks and half a teaspoon of salt.
Pour the wet mixture into the flour bowl and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. Season with freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
Divide the mixture into eight liners without filling them completely, leaving at least 0.4 inches of empty edge.
Bake the leek muffins in a preheated static oven at 356°F for about 25 minutes.
Remove them from the oven and let them slightly cool before serving. Enjoy them warm. Enjoy! Paola
