Ingredients: (for 24 savory muffins):

• 1 small can of corn,
• 1 small can of peas,
• 1 small broccoli head,
• 6 eggs,
• Salt and pepper to taste,
• 400 g (about 1 ¾ cups) sour cream,
• A handful of whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour),
• 1 packet of baking powder,
• 5–6 large slices of ham, chopped,
• 200 g (about 7 oz) spicy Gorgonzola cheese

Preparation:

Drain the canned corn and peas, then place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir in the sour cream, baking powder, and flour until everything is well combined.

Bring a small broccoli head (washed beforehand) to a boil for 5–8 minutes. Once cooked, rinse it under cold water, break it into small florets, and cut each floret in half.

Place one piece of broccoli at the bottom of each muffin cup. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the egg, corn, and pea mixture over the broccoli. Top each muffin with pieces of ham and a generous chunk of spicy Gorgonzola cheese.

Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for about 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
