# Ingredients:

→ Ingredients

01 - 1 package of pre-made puff pastry from the fridge (about 275g)
02 - 2 eggs
03 - 100g of cream cheese
04 - 200g of cooked ham
05 - 150g of shredded Gouda cheese
06 - A pinch each of garlic powder, salt, and pepper
07 - Some chopped chives for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into 12 equal squares. Press a square into each muffin tin compartment, folding the corners over the edges. Gently press any overlapping dough against the sides to keep the filling from spilling out later.
02 - In a bowl, use a whisk to mix the eggs, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Dice the cooked ham into small pieces and stir it into the mix along with the shredded cheese.
03 - Spoon about one rounded tablespoon of the filling into each muffin cup. Distribute the mixture evenly, including the liquids.
04 - Bake the filled cups in a preheated oven at 180°C (convection) for around 25 minutes, until they turn a nice golden color. Remove them from the tin right away and let them cool on a wire rack.
05 - Serve these savory muffins warm or at room temperature. You can sprinkle some fresh chives on top if you'd like.

# Notes:

01 - These muffins are perfect for potlucks, a quick snack, or something to bring along to a party.
02 - They taste great hot or cold and can be kept in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
03 - You can freeze these too and defrost them whenever you need!
