• Difficulty: Easy
• Serves: 4 people

Ingredients:

• 366 g milk
• 60 g grated carrots
• 60 g grated zucchini
• 112 g grated mozzarella for pizza
• 25 g grated Parmesan cheese
• 56 g melted butter or olive oil
• 50 g cherry tomatoes
• 2 eggs
• 220 g all-purpose flour
• 10 fillets of Classic Pizza-Style Anchovies
• 1 teaspoon instant yeast for savory preparations
• 1 pinch of baking soda
• 20 g fresh herbs of your choice: thyme, oregano, basil
• 1 pinch of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• Tomato purée as needed
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

For the frosting:

• 400 g cream cheese
• 100 g fresh cream
• 50 g Parmesan cheese
• 20 g fresh herbs (basil and oregano)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (374°F).
   In a bowl, add the finely grated and well-drained carrots and zucchini, grated mozzarella, melted butter, milk, beaten eggs, chopped herbs, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Also, add the chopped anchovy fillets.
2. Prepare the tomatoes.
   Slice the cherry tomatoes into thin strips, removing the seeds and juice. Add them to the mixture and stir well.
3. Mix the dry ingredients.
   Sift the flour, yeast, baking soda, and salt together, then add them to the mixture and stir again. Grease and flour a muffin tin, filling each cup ¾ of the way.
4. Bake.
   Bake for approximately 20 minutes. In the last 10 minutes, lightly brush each muffin with tomato purée mixed with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Muffins should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Let the muffins cool for 5-10 minutes.
5. Prepare the cheese frosting.
   In a bowl, whip the chilled fresh cream until it starts to thicken. Gradually add the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and finely chopped herbs. Continue to whip at low speed until the mixture is thick and fluffy. Let the frosting rest in the fridge.
6. Assemble.
   Once the muffins are cool, remove them from the tin. Using a piping bag, decorate each muffin with a swirl of cheese frosting.
