Ingredients for Ham and Cheese Breakfast Muffins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These savoury egg muffins with ham and cheese rely on simple, everyday ingredients that work beautifully together:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Eggs<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the base that keeps everything light and fluffy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cottage cheese<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 adds a little creaminess and extra protein.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Flour & baking powder<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 for structure, giving that \u201cmuffin-like\u201d texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Grated cheese<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 think nutty French Comt\u00e9 (my favourite), Gouda or Gruy\u00e8re for richness, or opt for classic Cheddar for a more familiar, comforting flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ham<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 salty, savoury and satisfying.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Shallot<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 for a gentle aromatic lift.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Paprika & salt<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 subtle warmth and seasoning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Tip<\/strong>:<\/em>\u00a0Swap ham for cooked bacon or keep it vegetarian with a classic mix of saut\u00e9ed spinach, mushrooms and a little garlic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Start by whisking the eggs until smooth and airy, then stir in the cottage cheese to create a creamy, protein-rich base.
