This makes a really great breakfast muffin that offers much more than sweetness. With a glass of milk and a banana or apple you’ll have a full and healthy breakfast. They are also a great choice for the kids coming home from school or an afternoon pick-me-up for you. These muffins are simple to make (especially if you have pre grated cheese on hand). It took longer to heat the oven than it did to put the muffins together, honestly! I haven’t tried freezing any because I haven’t had them stick around long enough.
MAKES: 12 muffins
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 extra large egg
1 cup milk (fat free is ok)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or substitute margarine if you like)
2 tablespoons brown mustard
3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup smoked ham, finely chopped
DIRECTIONS:
preheat oven to 400F and prepare muffin tins.
In large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper.
In a separate bowl beat egg, milk, butter and mustard, stir into flour mixture.
Gently stir in cheese and ham.
Spoon into prepared muffin tin and bake for 20 minutes or until fully risen and browned.
