Ingredients

Muffins
200 g Plain flour
200 g Whole white yogurt
25 g Sunflower seed oil
4 Whole eggs
6 g Baking powder
90 g Red radicchio
25 g Grated Parmesan cheese
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Saffron Mousse
150 g Robiola cheese

Proceedings

Season chopped radicchio with sunflower oil, salt, and pepper. 

Mix eggs with oil, yogurt and baking powder for 3 minutes, add red radicchio Parmesan cheese and mix, finally insert salt and flour and incorporate gently.

Pour the dough into the previously buttered and floured muffin tins and bake in multistep mode: first steam cooking 20% at 190° for 5 minutes, then traditional fan assisted mode at 180° for 16 minutes, remove from oven and take out the muffins and let them cool.

Whip the robiola cheese with cream, parmesan and saffron until you have fluffy mousse, pour it into a piping bag with a ribbed nozzle.

Lay the muffins on individual plates, decorate creating a tuft of robiola cheese.
