Savory Muffin Recipes: Ham, Cheese & Broccoli Muffins

Sometimes I like savory muffin recipes instead of sweet.

These wonderful broccoli muffins with cheese and ham are perfect for a light lunch with salad or as a go-along with soups or stews.

Eaten on their own, they make a pretty healthy snack recipe too. If you chop the vegetables and ham finely, kids who don't like them won't even know they are in there.

Savoury muffins are very easy to make. Just make sure you don't over mix the batter. Muffins are lighter and fluffier if they are mixed just enough to blend the ingredients together. They get tough with too much mixing.

In a medium bowl combine the broccoli, ham, onion, parmesan and cheddar cheeses. In a larger bowl beat the eggs until they are foamy. Blend in the oil. Add flour, baking powder, oregano, parsley, thyme and garlic powder. Mix together, then stir in the broccoli and ham mixture and mix until just blended.

Spoon muffins into 12 lightly greased muffin cups. Bake for 20 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Great for muffins, tarts and cupcakes. I often make large amounts of cupcakes and it's always a challenge to get them where they need to go without messing up the frosting. This has solved my problems. NordicWare 12-c. Natural Commercial Bakeware Muffin Pan with Storage Lid

Variations:

• For vegetarian broccoli muffins, just leave out the ham.
• You can replace the broccoli with chopped asparagus as well. It is equally tasty.
