RECIPE CHRISTMAS MORNING GREEN EGGS & HAM Makes 6 Prep 20 mins Cook 20 mins Whip the batter up for these make ahead muffins on Christmas Eve and then place in the fridge in their baking tray until you’re ready to cook them in the oven on Christmas morning. Now that’s a wake and bake! They smell amazing as they’re cooking and come out festively green, packing an energy & antioxidant punch from Matcha green tea. You can of course leave the Matcha out if you want to (although it’s undetectable on the palette), and vegetarians can swap the pancetta for wild mushrooms or cherry tomatoes. 1. Grease a 6” mould muffin baking tray with butter or oil. 2. Dry fry the pancetta in a pan until golden and 6 large organic eggs 100-150g cubed pancetta 25g grated parmesan (or cheese of choice) 1 tsp dried oregano 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or 1 finely chopped garlic clove) 1 tsp baking powder 1 tbsp matcha green tea powder (optional) small handful pumpkin seeds 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
