How to Make Auberge Cheddar Cheese And Ham Breakfast Buns Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas Mark 6).
  2. Grease a 12-hole muffin tin.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Stir in 1 cup shredded mature cheddar cheese, ½ cup diced smoked ham, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional).
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, ½ cup milk, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  6. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. If the batter is too dry, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches a soft, dropping consistency.
  8. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool slightly in the tin before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Serve warm, spread with butter, herb garlic cheese, or smoked salmon butter (for a luxurious Christmas treat!).
