Ham and cheese savoury muffins

It’s been a while since I shared  recipe here. I am often asked what on earth to I usually cook up to feed my little troops on a daily basis. So I thought I’d share one of my go-to recipes for a yummy and simple lunch I whip up for my kiddos. They are also perfect for lunchboxes and for an after-school snack. Ham & cheese muffins with corn/zucchini (adapted from 4ingredients) Ingredients 2 cups self-raising flour 1 and a half cups milk 1 and a half cups grated cheddar cheese 1 cup chopped ham 1 cup grated zucchini (or corn kernels) Directions Preheat the oven to 180 ̊C. Line a 12-cup muffin tray with paper cases (I use silicone cases). Place flour in a large bowl. Pour in milk, cheese, ham and grated zucchini or corn. Fold gently until combined. Spoon into muffin cases. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy!

DSC05282My cup runneth over
