Savoury three-cheese muffins

These muffins are a great savoury treat for lunch, afternoon tea or a quick snack between meals. The mixture of the three different cheeses and the champagne ham works perfectly to create a flavoursome dish that everyone will love.  

They make for the perfect picnic snack or a great dish to bring to a lunch get together. They can also be served at room temperature or even a bit colder if you are looking to pop them in an air-tight container in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for a few days so you can enjoy them in moderation!
