These easy ham, cheese and corn muffins are perfect for back-to-school season.

They take just 10 minutes to prepare and can be made ahead, ready to grab on busy school mornings.

Ingredients

  • 300g self-raising flour

  • 50g grated cheese

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 250ml milk

  • 100g butter, melted and cooled

  • 100g ham

  • 1 corn on the cob

  • Salt and pepper, optional

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin cases, or grease a non-stick muffin tin well with oil.

  2. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the corn kernels from the cob. Cut the ham into small pieces.

  3. Add the flour, grated cheese, ham and corn to a large bowl. Mix well and season with a little salt and pepper, if using.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, beaten egg and melted, cooled butter.

  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

  6. Divide the mixture evenly between the 12 muffin holes.

  7. Bake for 15–17 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
