Ingredients

• 6 slices White sandwich bread
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Cooked ham, diced
• 0.75 cup Canned corn kernels, drained
• 0.75 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard muffin tin with a thin layer of butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread gently to make it thinner but still intact.

Step 3

Brush one side of each bread slice lightly with melted butter. Press each slice, butter side down, into the muffin tin cups to shape a case. Trim the edges if necessary to make the cases neat.

Step 4

Bake the bread cases in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp. Remove and set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the filling.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and egg until fully combined. Stir in the diced ham, corn, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. If using chives, fold them into the mixture as well.

Step 6

Spoon the ham and corn mixture evenly into each bread case. Be careful not to overfill to avoid spilling during baking.

Step 7

Return the filled cases to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.

Step 8

Allow the ham and corn cases to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin with a butter knife or small spatula.

Step 9

Serve warm, garnished with additional chives if desired. These can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a fresh salad for a complete meal.
