HAM & CHEESE MUFFINS

Very easy to make. I use Mozzarella cheese as my kids prefer the milder taste but if you like, use a mature cheddar for a tangier taste. I have also used left-over turkey or sausages instead of ham.

PREPARATION TIME: 10 minutes

COOKING TIME: 25 minutes

WET MIX

1/4 cup Butter

1 Onion, finely chopped

2 Eggs

1 cup Milk

1 tsp French mustard

1 cup Diced ham

1 cup Grated cheese

DRY MIX

2 cup s Plain flour

1 tsp Salt

1 tbsp Baking powder

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 200°C  . Prepare a 12 cup muffin tin by rubbing butter inside the cups with a piece of greaseproof paper. Alternatively prepare 12 paper muffin cups. You will also need 2 large bowls, one for the wet mix, one for the dry mix, and a spatula for mixing.

In a frying pan, gently fry the onion in the butter until translucent. OPTION - add a minced clove of garlic if you like.

In the wet mix bowl, add the milk, eggs and mustard and gently whisk until even. Add in the ham, the cheese, the fried onions and the butter from the pan. Stir with the spatula.

In the dry mix bowl combine the flour, the salt and the baking powder. OPTION - add some pepper if you like.

Add the wet mix to the dry mix and stir roughly with the spatula until combined. Do not over mix.

Spoon the mixture into the muffin pan. Bake for 25 - 30 mins.
