AUBERGE CHEDDAR CHEESE AND HAM BREAKFAST BUNS - MUFFINS



Auberge Cheddar Cheese and Ham Breakfast Buns - Muffins image

These are what the French call "cakes" - they are little savoury buns or muffins - and are always requested for breakfasts in the Auberge. They are delicious split and spread with herb and garlic cheese when warm - or serve them alongside hot soups, stews, chilli or casseroles! I have also made these with grated Gruyere cheese as well as Emmenthal....the trick is to use a mature and strong tasting cheese. I have suggested using smoked ham in this recipe - it just gives a wonderful extra flavour to these delicious buns/muffins. They freeze well and are easily reheated, if you have any left! We often have these for Christmas morning breakfast or brunch with the optional chives added, and then spread with smoked salmon butter - divine!

Time 30m

Yield 12 Muffins - Buns, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

300 g self raising flour
1/2 teaspoon savoury instant bouillon granules (such as vegetable or chicken)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon dry English-style mustard
150 g chopped smoked ham
185 g grated mature farmhouse cheddar cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
250 ml milk
6 tablespoons light olive oil or 6 tablespoons light vegetable oil
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat an oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 5.
  • Grease a 12 hole muffin or bun tray/pan.
  • Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper - but be careful not to over salt as the stock powder will contain salt.
  • Stir in the ham and cheese, and chives if using, mix again.
  • Add the egg, milk and olive oil - mix well - but do NOT over mix - just enough to combine the ingredients together. Adjust the consistency if too dry by adding a little more milk - the mixture should be a soft dropping consistency.
  • Spoon mixture into the prepared muffin/bun tray/pan and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are well risen and golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack.
  • Serve whilst warm - delicious if spread with butter or soft cheese!

Ham & Cheese Low Carb Breakfast Muffins image

These low carb ham and cheese muffins may not be the prettiest, but man are they flavorful. The combination of all the cheeses is fabulous. They're almost like a mini crustless quiche. Savoriness of the Swiss cheese and ham is the perfect complement to the spinach. The best part is these heat up wonderfully. No excuses to not...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 eggs
2 Tbsp heavy cream
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 c Swiss cheese
8 slice ham deli meat, diced
1 c fresh spinach, stems removed and coarsely chopped
1/2 c crumbled Feta cheese
1/4 c shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray the bottom and sides of a 12 serving regular muffin tin.
  • 2. In a large bowl add eggs and heavy cream.
  • 3. Beat with a whisk very vigorously until frothy.
  • 4. Add the salt, pepper, onion powder, ham, spinach, and Swiss cheese. Beat again until thoroughly mixed.
  • 5. Pour eggs into the muffin tins being sure not to overfill them.
  • 6. Sprinkle the tops with Feta cheese and then cheddar cheese.
  • 7. Bake 20-25 minutes or until set but not overcooked.
  • 8. Test by pressing in the middle with a finger. They should not be soft in the middle but not too brown on the top and sides. Makes 12 muffins.

Tips:

  • For a savory muffin, use a sharp cheddar cheese and add a sprinkle of chopped green onions or diced bell peppers.
  • For a sweeter muffin, use a mild cheddar cheese and add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
  • If you don't have muffin cups, you can grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and pour the batter into that.
  • These muffins can be made ahead of time and frozen for later. Simply bake them according to the recipe, then let them cool completely. Place them in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator or reheat in the microwave.
  • These muffins are also great for a grab-and-go breakfast. Simply wrap them in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
