Ham and Cheese Muffins

These muffins might just change your life because they are just so good! Use good quality ham and cheese because their flavors are going to explode when you bite into these gems. I sometimes use smoked cheese and add a minced jalapeno for a little heat. Once baked, they freeze well, but really taste their best warm from the oven.
