Method:
1. For the muffins: Preheat the oven to 180°C (160° fan) | 350F | gas 4. Grease four individual ovenproof jars (with lids) with some olive oil.
2. Combine the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.
3. Make a well in the centre and add the melted butter, egg, and milk. Mix into the dry ingredients to make a rough batter; it shouldn't be totally smooth.
4. Fold in the cheeses, ham, and spinach. Divide the batter between the jars, placing them on a rimmed baking tray.
5. Bake for about 25-35 minutes until golden-brown and risen; a toothpick should come out clean from their centres when ready. Carefully remove to a wire rack to cool.
6. To serve: Stir together the carrot, garlic, 1 tbsp olive oil, and rice wine vinegar in a serving bowl with some salt and pepper to taste.
7. Dress the spinach with the remaining olive oil and some salt and pepper to taste. Divide between plates along with the carrot salad and yoghurt.
8. Turn out the muffins from their jars onto the plates. Garnish with some cress and serve straight away.
