frozen pea
300 
g
 
plain flour
1 
tablespoon
 
baking powder
Pinch dry mustard powder
Sea salt
Black pepper
1/2 
teaspoon
 
mixed herbs or 2 tsp fresh chives, finely chopped
1 
large egg
100 
g

full fat milk

75

Cheddar cheese, grated
Butter for greasing

Our method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
  2. Prepare a 12 hole muffin tin by greasing well with butter. Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the frozen peas according to the cooking instructions on pack. Drain and refresh under cold running water.
  3. Sift the flour, baking powder and dry mustard powder into a large mixing bowl, and add the salt, freshly ground black pepper and mixed herbs or chives.
  4. In a separate bowl lightly beat the egg with an electric whisk and add the boursin cheese, whisking until the cheese has broken up and combined smoothly with the egg. Whisk in the milk, and then, using a wooden spoon, stir in the peas and ham.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix lightly and quickly to combine. Spoon the mixture into the greased muffin tin and sprinkle the top of each muffin with grated cheddar cheese. 
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and firm to the touch. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool. 
  7. Serve warm with butter, as a light lunch with a cheese omelette, or as a savoury snack.
These savoury muffins are ideal for a lunchbox or picnic. (Makes 12 muffins)
