12 muffins
ingredients
- 4 ounces frozen peas
- 10 ounces all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon mixed herbs
- 1 large egg
- 4 ounces boursin cheese
- 7 ounces milk
- 2 ounces ham, cooked, diced
- 3 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
- butter, for greasing
directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Prepare a 12 hole muffin tin by greasing well with butter. Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil and blanch the frozen peas for 2 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold running water.
- 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 some chopped fresh chives.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
