Country Ham And Asparagus Mini Muffins Recipes

INDIVIDUAL HAM CASSEROLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously spray 24 muffin cups (2 standard muffin tins) with cooking spray.
• Crack the eggs into a bowl; add the salt, black pepper and chili powder. Whisk until combined. Add the ham, Cheddar, bell peppers and onions and stir.
• With a measuring cup, scoop the mixture into the muffin cups. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until puffy and just barely set.
• Within a minute or two, the casseroles will start to flatten just a little bit -- this is normal! Run a knife along the edges of each muffin cup and lift the casseroles out of the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

• Shape the dough into 18 balls.
• Press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup; set aside.
• In a small bowl, stir together the Swiss cheese and the remaining 1 tablespoon flour.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and cream.
• Stir in the Swiss cheese mixture and ham.
• Spoon evenly into the muffin cups.
• Bake 7 minutes.
• Top each muffin with an asparagus tip.
• Decrease oven temperature to 300 degrees.

HAM MUFFINWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Whisk together the first 4 ingredients. Add muffin mix; stir just until moistened. Fold in ham and green onions. Fill 8 greased or paper-lined muffin cups half full., Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 15-20 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with cheese. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.

SAVORY HAM AND GRUYèRE BREAD

Steps:

• Center a rack in the oven and heat to 350 degrees. Or, if making mini muffins, position 2 racks in upper third of the oven and heat to 425 degrees. Generously brush a loaf pan or four 12-portion mini muffin pans with butter.
• In a large bowl, whisk flour with baking powder, salt and pepper.
• In a medium bowl, lightly whisk eggs, then whisk in milk and olive oil.
• Using a rubber spatula, fold wet ingredients into dry until barely mixed. Fold in ham and cheese.
• Scrape batter into loaf pan and smooth top, or using your finger, push a tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup.
• Bake loaf until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few crumbs attached, 40 to 50 minutes. Or bake muffins until golden, about 15 minutes, switching pans between racks halfway through.
• Transfer to a rack to cool in pan for 5 minutes. Run a knife around edge to release. Turn out loaf onto rack to firm up before slicing, about 30 minutes; using a serrated knife, cut into 3/8-inch slices, then cut into halves or quarters. Muffins can be served warm or at room temperature.

CHEESY ASPARAGUS CAPER MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
• Place asparagus in a bowl with a small amount of water; cover and cook in microwave on High, 30 seconds at a time, just until tender. Drain asparagus; set aside to cool.
• Whisk flour, marjoram, thyme, baking powder, baking soda, pepper, and salt together in a bowl. Beat egg in a separate bowl; beat in buttermilk, melted butter, and olive oil. Stir Cheddar cheese, green onions, capers, and asparagus into buttermilk mixture.
• Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened; spoon mixture into prepared muffin cups 2/3 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for a few minutes; serve warm.
