SAVOURY PINEAPPLE TEXAS MUFFINS

This week our senior students had the challenge of how to use pineapple in a savoury recipe. They learned how to combine pineapple, ham, and cheese in this quick and easy muffin recipe ideal for a lunchbox snack. Pineapple is an ingredient that moistens and tenderises meat. Students agreed that ham and pineapple go together on a Hawaiian pizza and were looking forward to trying this muffin recipe.

½ cup tasty cheese

50g honey leg ham, chopped.

¼ cup pineapple, diced

1 tablespoon parsley finely chopped.
