With a savory combination of eggs, prosciutto, cheese, and fresh vegetables, these muffins are easy to prepare and can be customized based on the ingredients available in your pantry. Let's get started!

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Number of servings: 6 muffins

Necessary ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 80 g prosciutto (you can also use other types of ham)
- 80 g cheese (grated cheese of your choice)
- 100 g cold meat (can be beef, pork, or chicken, diced)
- 100 g baked potatoes (diced)
- 3 cherry tomatoes (halved)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Greek basil (for garnish)
- A little butter (for greasing the molds)

Step by step in preparing the muffins:

1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. This step is essential for achieving even baking and the perfect texture of the muffins.

2. Prepare the molds: Grease the 6 muffin molds with a little butter. This will help the muffins release easily after baking and add extra flavor.

3. Cut the ingredients: Dice the meat and potatoes, and halve the cherry tomatoes. These ingredients will add a pleasant texture and savory taste to the muffins.

4. Beat the eggs: In a bowl, beat the 3 eggs well, adding the grated cheese. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. These eggs will be the delicious base of your muffins.

5. Assemble the muffins: Place slices of prosciutto around the sides of the muffin molds, creating an attractive look. Add a spoonful of the egg mixture into each mold, followed by the diced meat and potatoes. Fill the molds with the remaining egg mixture.

6. Add the tomatoes and cheese: Place half a cherry tomato on top of each muffin and sprinkle a little grated cheese for extra flavor.

7. Bake the muffins: Place the tray in the preheated oven and let the muffins bake for about 20 minutes, or until they become golden and fluffy. Check them occasionally to make sure they don't burn.

8. Cooling and serving: When the muffins are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes in the molds. Then, carefully remove them and serve alongside fresh tomatoes, a yogurt sauce, or anything else you enjoy.

Useful tips:
- You can substitute prosciutto with turkey ham or crispy bacon for a heartier version.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra nutrients and a more intense flavor.
- If you want a stronger taste, you can use cheddar or feta cheese.

Nutritional benefits:
These breakfast muffins are rich in protein due to the eggs and meat, providing an excellent source of energy for the entire day. The cheese adds calcium, and the vegetables contribute essential vitamins, making this recipe a healthy option.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use other types of meat?
Absolutely! You can experiment with chicken, turkey, or even vegetables for a vegetarian option.

2. What other spices can I add?
You can try herbs like rosemary or thyme for added flavor.

3. How can I store the muffins for later?
These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2-3 days or can be frozen for later use.

Delicious variations:
- Vegetable muffins: Add spinach or zucchini for a healthier version.
- Spicy muffins: Add a few slices of hot pepper for a spicy flavor.
