HAM AND CHEDDAR MUFFINS
These are so yummy! Great for breakfast or a savory snack anytime of the day. I make these every time I have leftover ham. Sometimes I sauté a little garlic and finely chopped bell peppers with the onions to add even more flavour.

AUBERGE CHEDDAR CHEESE AND HAM BREAKFAST BUNS - MUFFINS
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!

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!

Tips:
- For a light and fluffy muffin, make sure to not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
- 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. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make sure the muffins are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
- For a cheesy crust on top of the muffins, sprinkle some grated cheddar cheese on top before baking.
- If you want to add some extra flavor to the muffins, try adding some chopped green onions, diced bell peppers, or crumbled bacon.
