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!

JALAPENO CHEDDAR CHEESE MUFFINS RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese Muffins Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-43854

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
3 tablespoons pickled jalapeno, diced
12 pickled jalapeno rounds for topping
Sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper for topping

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour a 12 cup muffin tin and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients all at once to the dry ingredients. Stir to incorporate. Before the mixture is entirely mixed, add the grated cheese and diced jalapeno. Stir to incorporate making sure that the mixture is evenly moistened and the cheese is well distributed. Divide batter between prepared muffin tins. Top each with a jalapeno round and sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper. Bake muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Muffins are best served warm. Tip: One note about using paper cupcake liners with these muffins! When warm, the muffins will stick to the paper. When muffins are room temperature, the papers will come out of the papers easily. To avoid this nonsense, just grease and flour a muffin tin instead of using cupcake liners.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup coarsely grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1 large egg
3 -4 tablespoons spicy hot prepared mustard
1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.

  • When well mixed, whisk in milk and butter; pour over flour mixture; fold in gently with a rubber spatula, just until dry ingredients are moistened.

Tips:

  • Use freshly grated cheddar cheese for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this will make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only ⅔ full, as the muffins will rise during baking.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
