Steps

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease a muffin tray with oil.
In a bowl, crack the egg and whisk it until well combined.
Stir in the grated cheese, grated carrot, and diced ham until evenly mixed.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tray, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
Let them cool for a few minutes before removing from the tray.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips for Cheesy Ham and Carrot Egg Muffins

Finely grated carrot blends into the egg more evenly; larger pieces can leave the centers wetter.
The muffins are ready when the centers look puffed and set rather than glossy; they may sink slightly as they cool.
A flexible silicone muffin pan or a thin spatula can help release the edges without tearing the muffins.

Drink pairing

A dry sparkling wine
Its crisp, lively character complements the savory ham and cheese without overwhelming the mild carrot and egg.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot, or serve chilled or at room temperature.
