Looking for ideas for dinner and packed lunches, I found a few recipes involving muffins: with ham, dried tomatoes, vegetables and herbs. I decided to prepare my own version with our favourite ingredients. I added ham, cheese and courgette. They were excellent both hot and cold the next day.

My daughter, who likes trying my culinary experiments, ate the muffins at once and another two for packed lunch. The next time I will prepare many more.

Ingredients (8 muffins):
200g of flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
125ml of milk
50ml of oil
1 egg
200g of courgettes
75g of ham
100g of cheese
2 teaspoon of mixed herbs
salt and pepper

Heat the oven up to 185C. Put some paper muffin moulds into the "dimples" of a baking pan for muffins.
Clean the courgettes and grate them. Add salt and leave them in a bowl for 30 minutes. Dice the ham and cheese. Mix together the dry ingredients of the muffins: flour, baking soda and mixed herbs. Mix the eggs and oil in a separate bowl. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Drain the courgette and add it with the ham and cheese to the muffin dough. Spice it up with salt and pepper and stir. Put the dough into some paper muffin moulds up to 2/3 of their height. Bake for 30 minutes.

Enjoy your meal!
