How to Make Crispy Golden Chicken Ham & Cheese Breakfast Muffins
1. Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or butter.
2. Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and baking powder. Add the flour and mix until well combined.
3. Fold in the Goodness
Gently fold in the shredded chicken, diced ham, and shredded cheese. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
4. Fill the Muffin Cups
Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
5. Make the Crispy Topping
In a small bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture over each muffin for a golden, crispy finish.
6. Bake to Perfection
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and set in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
7. Cool & Serve
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm, or store for later!
Storage & Meal Prep Tips
- Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20–30 seconds.
- Freeze: Wrap muffins individually and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
- Reheat for Crispy Texture: Pop them in an air fryer or oven for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
Customization Ideas
- Vegetarian Option: Swap chicken and ham for sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers.
