Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 1 cup Cooked ham (diced)
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.25 cup Green onions (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until fully blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave if desired.
