Method

Step 1

Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and lightly oil a 12-hole muffin tin.
Step 2

Put the eggs, soured cream and milk into a bowl and whisk to combine. Tip in the spring onions, chopped jalapeños, lime zest and sweetcorn, and mix well. Add the polenta, flour, baking powder, salt and ¾ of the cheddar, and fold just until combined.

Meanwhile, put the yogurt into a serving bowl and stir through the lime juice and zest. Cool the muffins in the tin for 5 minutes before moving to a rack. Serve with the lime yogurt for dipping.
