3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and oil until well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Fold in the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, biltong, spring onions and parsley.
6. Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
7. Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
8. Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
