| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s ready when you’re done preparing the batter. |
| 2. | Prepare Muffin Batter: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the corn muffin mix with the diced deli ham and shredded Swiss cheese. Mix them together until they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mix. |
| 3. | Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate one-cup glass measure, combine the milk, egg, and Dijon mustard. Whisk them together until they are well blended. |
| 4. | Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly pour the milk mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture gently until the ingredients are just moistened. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins. |
| 5. | Fill Muffin Cups: Line 9 muffin cups with paper liners and fill each cup two-thirds full with the batter. This ensures the muffins have enough space to rise while baking. |
| 6. | Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. |
| 7. | Cool: Once baked, remove the muffin pan from the oven and transfer it to a cooling rack. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing them. |
| 8. | Serve: Serve the muffins warm, either as a delightful accompaniment to your meal or as a standalone snack. Enjoy the savory goodness of these Ham and Cheese Corn Muffins! |
