How to Make the Best Ham and Cheese Puffs Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make easy Ham and Cheese Puffs: Chopped cooked ham, baking mix i.e. Bisquick, Creole or Cajun seasoning, onion powder, granulated garlic, ground mustard, large eggs, buttermilk, shredded cheddar or colby jack cheese, melted butter and chopped green onions.
• Kitchen gadgets you’ll need: Mixing bowls, a cheese grater, measuring cups and spoons, a whisk to sift the dry ingredient together, two 24 cup mini muffin pans and a sharp knife and cutting board.
• The dough for these ham puffs is made using baking mix. Baking mixes such as Bisquick, already have salt and leavening in the mix so please note that this can’t be used interchangeably with all purpose flour.
• You can adapt the cheese using any variety that you enjoy in the same amount.
• If you’d like to add a little kick, along with the Creole seasoning add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper.
• I recommend that you serve these ham and cheese puffs with sweet hot mustard for dipping. Otherwise, Creole mustard or honey mustard both work well, or a variety of mustards to suit everyone’s taste.
• A small scoop makes dividing the dough a cinch. You could also use a tablespoon to drop the dough into the wells of the muffin pan. Try to divide evenly so the puffs will be uniform in size.
• These puffs can be baked and cooled then packaged and frozen. Reheat them from frozen in a preheated 350°F oven just until heated through.
• Store Ham and Cheese Puffs chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on a sheet pan in the oven or a few at a time in the microwave for snacking.
