Cheddar and Ham Muffins

Recipe makes 8 servings

Ingredients:

6 large eggs
3.5 oz (100g) shredded cheddar cheese
3.5 oz (100g) cooked ham, thinly sliced into short strips
2 Tbsp heavy cream (optional, for fluffiness)
½ tsp baking powder (optional, for lightness)
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 Tbsp butter or coconut oil for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Grease eight of the cups  in a muffin tin with butter or coconut oil, or use silicone molds for easy release.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the heavy cream, baking powder (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Stir in the shredded cheddar and ham strips, making sure the ham is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cavity about ¾ full.

Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and puffed, and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from the tin.
