Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp dry yeast (powder)
- 1 pinch fine salt
- 7 oz egg whites
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 6 oz cottage cheese (like Jocca)
- 5 oz cooked ham
- 3 1/2 tbsp milk (if the mixture is too dry)
- as needed butter (for the molds)
- as needed all-purpose flour (for the molds)
Steps
In a bowl, start by placing the dry ingredients: mix the flour with the parmesan.
Add the dry yeast.
And finally, a pinch of salt.
Mix the ingredients well with a spoon.
In another bowl, place the egg whites, gradually add the oil, and whisk the ingredients until the egg whites foam. Do not whisk them until stiff.
Now pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ones.
Mix the ingredients well with a spatula or a spoon. The mixture should be slightly sticky and thick.
Complete everything by adding the ham cut into small cubes.
Mix the ingredients well; if the mixture is too dry, add a bit of milk. Let it rest covered with a cloth for about ten minutes.
Meanwhile, butter and flour the molds. Now fill them up to three-quarters. I got 9; my molds have a diameter of 2 3/8 inches and a height of 2 inches.
Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes, placing the muffins on the oven tray on the second-to-last rack. For the last 5 minutes, cook with the fan on to make them golden on top.
