Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons minced onion
• nonstick cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons minced jalapeno peppers
• 1 (8.5 ounce) package corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy®)
• 0.333 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons minced cooked ham
• 2 tablespoons frozen corn kernels, thawed
• 0.333 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Blend muffin mix, milk, and egg in a bowl; batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 3

Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add ham, jalapeño peppers, onion, and corn kernels; sauté for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir ham mixture into the muffin batter. Fold in Monterey Jack cheese. Use a 1-tablespoon scoop to fill each prepared muffin cup about 3/4 full.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each muffin comes out clean and muffins are lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Remove corn muffins from the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
