Savoury Muffins

Ham and Mushroom Savoury Muffins are a great way to try savoury muffins as they are so easy to make and really delicious.

Ingredients

50g butter

1/2 small onion/shallot finely chopped

80g button mushrooms

360g plain flour

2.5 tsp baking powder

250g grated cheddar cheese

220ml whole milk

1 egg

80g smoked ham

Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste


Method

Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius.
Melt the butter in a frying pan.
Chop the onion and mushrooms and add them to the butter.
Season with salt and pepper and cook gently.


In a separate bowl mix the flour, cheese and baking powder.
Mix the milk and egg in a separate jug.
Slowly add the milk and egg mix to the flour mix and combine.
Then add the chopped ham and the mushroom mix.
Fill muffin cases and bake for 30-35 minutes. (You should get about 12 muffins)
Leave to cool slightly in the tray and then cool completely on a wire rack.



I love to eat mine warm with a little butter on them for a luxury breakfast or snack.
