Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp rapeseed oil  see Notes
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) ham chopped into small pieces
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) chestnut mushrooms chopped into small pieces
  • 8 large free range eggs beaten in a jug
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 85 g (3 oz) extra mature cheddar cheese grated (see Notes)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush the 12 holes of a non-stick muffin tin with the oil (or use silicone liners) and fill with the chopped ham and mushrooms.
  • Season the jug of beaten eggs with freshly ground black pepper. Divide the mixture between the muffin tins and sprinkle the grated cheddar over the top.
  • Bake the omelettes for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown, risen and set in the middle. Leave to cool for 2 minutes then remove from the tin and leave to cool fully on a wire rack.

Notes

  • Freezable – wrap the omelette muffins individually in cling film and freeze for up to 2 months.  Microwave from frozen in 2 minutes. 
  • Baking tip – it's important either to grease the muffin tin with oil or use silicone liners to prevent sticking. 
  • Vegetarian option – replace the ham with sautéed spinach, peppers, or sun-dried tomatoes. 
  • Dairy-free option – use plant-based cheese or omit cheese entirely. 
  • Herbs and spices – add fresh parsley, chives or thyme for a herby flavour.   Try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chilli flakes for a spicy kick. 
  • Cheese options – use cheddar, feta or gruyere for different flavour profiles. 
  • This cheese, ham and mushroom omelette muffins recipe is easily adapted if want to make less or more.
