Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray.

  5. Add Mix-Ins: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham or bacon, and chopped chives.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle with your choice of toppings, if desired.
  7. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
