Ham and Cheese Muffins

Minoo prepared two recipes for the first meeting of Gilmore Park Church Community Kitchen for this fall season.  The first recipe is a hand held breakfast or lunch item which is perfect for families on the go.  These Ham and Cheese Muffins are savory instead of the regular sweet muffins.

Ham-Cheese-Muffins-6

These Ham and Cheese Muffins taste like quiche but they are easier to make.  You can even make them ahead and they can be reheated quickly.  It is also a good recipe to use your leftover bread.

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon each, salt and pepper
  • 5 cups cubed whole grain bread (about 5 slices, trim off crust)
  • 1 cup shredded Canadian Cheddar, Swiss or Colby cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced deli ham
  • 12 cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise or quarters if they are large.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F (180C).  Line a 12-cups muffin pan with non-stick silicone liners or paper cups, or butter generously.

Ham-Cheese-Muffins-2In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, salt and pepper.
Ham-Cheese-Muffins-3Cut, dice and shred the bread, ham and cheese accordingly.
Ham-Cheese-Muffins-4Stir in the bread, cheese and ham until evenly coated with egg mixture.
Ham-Cheese-Muffins-6Spoon into prepared muffin pan, pressing gently and drizzle with any liquid left in the bowl.  Press 2 tomato halves, cut side up, on top of each muffin.  Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden and puffed and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let cool in pan on a rack for 10 minutes.  Remove from pan by running a rubber spatula around the edge.  Serve hot.

Muffins can be cooled, wrapped and refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 2 months.  Reheat in microwave oven on medium (50%) power for 1 to 2 minutes.

  1. This is a interesting recipe- I’ve never seen anyone make muffins like this before. I should try it out- I love the combination of ham and cheese.
