Reduced Fat Ham & Cheese Muffins

Are you a ham and cheese lover? Then these muffins are for you. I found these in a recipe book I have had for while now and they quickly became a family favorite. Not only are they easy to put together, they taste fantastic. After I make a batch of these yummy muffins I store them in the fridge and they make a perfect quick breakfast and are great for on the go. My boys and husband love these muffins. They get excited when ever they see a batch baking in the oven. Give these delicious Ham & Cheese Muffins a try and tell us what you think!

First, in a bowl combine the cheese and biscuit mix. Then stir in the milk and egg and onion powder (the recipe originally calls for sauteed diced onion, but I didn’t have one on hand) just until moistened.

Next, Fold in the ham (and onion if you are using sauteed diced onion instead of onion powder).

Spray a muffin pan or line with liners. Fill 3/4th full with batter.

Bake at 425 F for 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to wired rack.

These are really yummy warm! Enjoy 🙂
