🛒 Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup milk
1 large egg
1/2 cup diced ham
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra zing)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1️⃣ First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a muffin tin.
2️⃣ Next, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
3️⃣ Then, in a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, milk, egg, and Dijon mustard (if using) until smooth.
4️⃣ Now, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined — don’t overmix!
5️⃣ Fold in the diced ham, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese, making sure everything is evenly distributed.
6️⃣ Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
7️⃣ Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8️⃣ Finally, let the muffins cool slightly, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
