Ham-and-Cheese Muffins

Before You Begin:
Adult: Preheat the oven to 350°F.

• 6 slices of whole-wheat bread, crusts removed
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 5 eggs
• 1 tablespoon whole milk
• ½ cup finely grated cheddar cheese plus more for sprinkling
• Salt
• Pepper
• ¼ cup cubed ham

1. Use a rolling pin or your hands to flatten the bread until it’s about ¼ inch thick. Brush both sides of each slice with the melted butter.

   

2. Whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the cheese and season with a dash of salt and pepper.

   

3. Press the buttered bread slices into a six-cup muffin tin. Divide the ham cubes among the muffin cups.

   

4. Fill the muffin cups with the egg mixture until they are ¾ full. Sprinkle with more cheese.

   

5. Adult: Bake for 20–25 minutes until the egg mixture is firm.
