I think, ideally, most people would like to have the time to have a real breakfast like this on a regular basis. Unfortunately our lives these days don't seem to accommodate that idea, but these breakfast muffins are a great make-ahead way to feel like you had a full breakfast! They are tasty and great when you're on-the-go.



Ham and Bacon Breakfast Muffins

1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. cornmeal
2 1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
3 green onions finely sliced (can also replace with diced white, yellow, or sweet onion)
1/2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 c. diced country ham
3/4 c. crumbled bacon
1 egg
1 c. milk
2 T. melted butter

Preheat oven to 375-degrees.

Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder and soda, sliced onions, cheese, and the country ham and bacon.

In another bowl, whisk milk with egg and melted butter. Blend milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing until all dry ingredients are moistened. Fill muffin cups about to 3/4 full. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

Makes about 10 to 12 muffins, depending on size.
