- 1/4 cup (15 gr) finely chopped scallions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with butter or line it with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, add the lightly beaten eggs, melted butter, milk, and granulated sugar.
- Whisk these wet ingredients until they are well combined.
- In the same bowl, sift in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Add the chopped cooked ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and finely chopped scallions to the batter.
- Mix gently with a spatula until the ham, cheese, and scallions are evenly distributed.
- Scoop the batter into each prepared muffin cup, filling each cup all the way to the top.

- Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin pan for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter; mix until just combined for tender muffins.
Ensure melted butter has cooled slightly before adding to eggs.
Fill muffin cups completely for bakery-style domed tops.
Use fresh baking powder for the best rise.
