Cheese And Ham Muffins
Cheese and Ham Muffins are soft, savory, and filled with melty cheese and diced ham. Golden and fluffy with a mild peppery touch, they’re perfect for breakfast, snacks, or quick meals, especially with a fresh herb topping.
Ingredients
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 180 ml milk
- 60 ml vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or a mix
- ¾ cup diced cooked ham
- Fresh herbs optional, for topping
Instructions
- Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk and oil or melted butter. Stir well.
- Pour the wet mix into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just mixed. It’s okay if there are some lumps.
- Fold in the shredded cheese and diced ham evenly.
- Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle extra cheese and some fresh herbs on top.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until golden. Check with a toothpick—it should come out clean.
- Let muffins cool for 5 minutes, then move to a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
