Mac and Peas Muffins

1/2 cup green peas

3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

*Note, to make these vegan, you can use a flax egg and substitute your favorite nondairy milk and dairy-free cheese like Daiya shreds.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease muffin tin with 1 tsp olive oil. Mix the rest of the olive oil with the breadcrumbs and set aside. Cook macaroni in a large pot of boiling water for 8 minutes until al dente. Beat egg and add to macaroni, along with Melt organic and stir. Mix in 1 cup cheddar, all mozzarella, peas, and milk. Divide equally in muffin tin, topping with remaining cheddar and breadcrumbs. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
