Best Country Ham And Asparagus Mini Muffins Recipes

INDIVIDUAL HAM CASSEROLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously spray 24 muffin cups (2 standard muffin tins) with cooking spray.
• Crack the eggs into a bowl; add the salt, black pepper and chili powder. Whisk until combined. Add the ham, Cheddar, bell peppers and onions and stir.
• With a measuring cup, scoop the mixture into the muffin cups. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until puffy and just barely set.
• Within a minute or two, the casseroles will start to flatten just a little bit -- this is normal! Run a knife along the edges of each muffin cup and lift the casseroles out of the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

HAM & GRUYERE MINI QUICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients; fold in Gruyere cheese, ham and onions. Fill 10 greased muffin cups three-fourths full., Bake 18-22 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Freeze option: Bake and cool quiches. Place quiches between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container; freeze up to 3 months. To use, thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Preheat oven to 350°. Transfer quiches to a greased baking sheet; bake 10-14 minutes or until heated through.

COUNTRY HAM AND ASPARAGUS MINI MUFFINS

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese and butter until well blended.
• Stir in ¾ cup of the flour and the cornmeal.
• Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
• Lightly grease 18 miniature muffin cups and then preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Shape the dough into 18 balls.
• Press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup; set aside.
• In a small bowl, stir together the Swiss cheese and the remaining 1 tablespoon flour.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and cream.
• Stir in the Swiss cheese mixture and ham.
• Spoon evenly into the muffin cups.
• Bake 7 minutes.
• Top each muffin with an asparagus tip.
• Decrease oven temperature to 300 degrees.
• Cover with foil; bake 17 minutes, or until set.
• Serve warm.

COUNTRY HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.
• Set ham into the prepared roasting pan and pierce several times with a fork.
• Stir brown sugar, peach preserves, and mustard together in a bowl; spread over the ham. Cover the ham with a sheet of aluminum foil.
• Roast ham in preheated oven, basting regularly, for 90 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil cover and continue baking until hot in the center, 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

MUFFIN PAN FRITTATAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir asparagus, green bell pepper, and onion in the hot oil until softened, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Mix cooked vegetables and Cheddar cheese into egg mixture. Spoon about 1/4 cup mixture into each muffin cup.
• Bake in the preheated oven until frittatas are set in the middle and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

MINI PROSCIUTTO & ASPARAGUS FRITTATAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease a 12-hole muffin tin and line each hole with a slice of prosciutto to cover the base and sides. Heat oil in a small frying pan and cook onion for 5 mins, until soft. Meanwhile, snap the tip ends off the asparagus and set aside. Finely slice the stalks and add to the onions when soft. Cook for 2-3 mins more, then remove and cool.
• Beat the eggs, milk and ¾ of the Parmesan together. Add some onion mix to each muffin hole. Divide over the egg mix, then top with the asparagus tip ends. Sprinkle over the remaining Parmesan and cook for 18-20 mins or until set.
• Allow to cool for a few mins then remove from tin and eat warm or cold.

ASPARAGUS-SOUR CREAM-MUFFINS

Steps:

• Toss asparagus with 1 tbs of the oil in a baking dish. Roast in the oven at 200°C/400°F for about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then cut asparagus into pieces (the lenth of half a finger should be just fine).
• Combine flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in a big bowl. Make a well in the centre.
• In a second bowl beat eggs lightly. Add sour cream and remaining oil. Pour into the well and mix until dry ingredients are just moistened (make sure not to overmix).
• Fold in asparagus.
• Fill dough into prepared muffin tins (well greased or paper-lined). If you like sprinkle with grated cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven at 200°C/400°F for 20 minutes or until slightly browned and tester comes out clean.
