Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Cooked ham, diced
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and black pepper until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk and melted butter until well blended.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheese, and chopped chives until evenly distributed in the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving, if desired.
