The muffins are easy to prepare: the dough mixes without much difficulty, while the appetizing cheese and ham make the flavor rich and balanced. Serve them warm, enjoying every bite, and for sophistication add herbs or a light sauce. This is simple yet exquisite baking inspired by French traditions!
