Cheese and pancetta breakfast muffins – quick and easy, ideal for a leisurely weekend breakfast
This is one of my favourite weekend breakfasts and perfect to take back to bed with coffee, the question is who pops out to buy the papers whilst the chef is at work?
If you don’t like cheese you may enjoy my maple bacon muffins for breakfast instead? Or a sweet vegan peanut butter muffin.
