Delicious savoury muffins made with roast meat leftovers

Do you have food that is about to expire or left-over meat that you want to turn into an amazing dish? Then this recipe is for you. 

Jesse Felthuis, the Head Chef at Gecko Culinary Adventures, has come up with a muffin recipe that uses left-over meat, bread, and roasted vegetables.

The muffins are not only meaty but also cheesy. 

Below is the recipe for the delicious muffins. 

Egg Muffins 

2 slices bread – toasted – sliced into small cubes

6 eggs

2 cups milk

Salt and pepper to taste.

Method:

In a bowl, beat the egg, milk, salt, pepper together until combined.

In a well lubricated muffin tin, evenly distribute the toasted bread cubes, add your choice of filling ingredients and then cover with the egg mixture.  

Bake in a moderately hot oven for about 15 minutes or until they have puffed up and the egg is cooked.  

Serve warm.

Add:

2 cups of the following to the muffin tins:

Cooked bacon or ham

Chopped cooked boerewors

1 chopped tomato

De-boned chicken bits

Chopped up roast meat

Steamed or roast vegetables

Spring onions

Grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese

Peppadews, olives, capers.

Chef Jesse’s Tip: 

I love to add a teaspoon of curry paste or tomato pesto to the egg mixture to perk up the flavour and I always top it off with cheese.
