This post was created in collaboration with Grana Padano and Prosciutto di San Daniele. Look out for the Protected Designation of Origin symbol, which is an assurance of quality! It’s almost picnic season! I love piling a tonne of food into a picnic basket (or more likely, two great big rucksacks) and heading out with Chris and the kids for a sunny day of fun with lots of lovely food to look forward to. In my imagination, we chat and laugh and walk for hours along coastal paths or around picturesque lakes, before settling down on our picnic blanket and sharing a well-earned lunch. In reality, we arrive at the location as planned, then I have to listen to the kids repeatedly asking me if it’s lunchtime yet, or if they can have a snack. The knowledge that there’s food in the bags is simply too much for them to bear, and they’ll buzz around me like little wasps on a melted ice cream until I give in and pass them a tuna sandwich. They’ll promptly drop that all over themselves, before requesting more food, until all we have left come picnic-time is a tub of squished strawberries (due to the jiggling of picnic items whilst rummaging around in the bags).
So I’m leaving sandwiches behind on my next picnic, and packing these beautifully portable egg-stuffed muffins instead! Flecked with Prosciutto di San Daniele and Grana Padano cheese, they make the perfect addition to the picnic basket. Plus, if I hand one of these to the kids during our walk, I know it’ll keep them full until it’s actually picnic time!
Here’s a video of the recipe:
These Grana Padano and Egg Stuffed Muffins With Prosciutto di San Daniele are delicious served warm or cold.
I made my latest batch last week when I had family over to visit for the afternoon. I served them up warm, as part of a big buffet lunch, along with extra Prosciutto di San Daniele, salad and fresh bread. Lovely!
