Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 18 mini muffin cups with nonstick spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a mixing bowl, combine the corn muffin mix, milk, and egg. Mix until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add the minced ham, jalapeño peppers, onion, and corn kernels. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and the ham is lightly browned. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Gently stir the ham mixture into the corn muffin batter. Fold in the shredded Monterey Jack cheese. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Using a 1-tablespoon scoop, fill each prepared mini muffin cup about 3/4 full. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the muffins are lightly browned. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the mini corn muffins from the pan and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. (2 minutes)

For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño peppers before mincing.
Feel free to substitute cheddar or pepper jack cheese for the Monterey Jack.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
