Categories     side-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 jumbo muffins or 12 muffin halves

Number Of Ingredients 17

Cooking spray, for greasing
9 large eggs
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons soft and 6 tablespoons melted
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 pound ham, finely chopped (about 2/3 cup)
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Coarsely ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar (about 3 ounces)
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Special Equipment: a jumbo 6-cup muffin tin and jumbo muffin liners
  • Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a jumbo 6-cup muffin tin with jumbo liners and generously grease with cooking spray.
  • Cook the eggs: Put 6 cold eggs in a medium saucepan. Add enough water to cover by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil, cover, remove from the heat and let sit for 4 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Gently crack the eggs so that they fracture all over and let them sit in the water for at least 20 minutes.
  • Gently peel the eggs under cold running water. (Older eggs are easier to peel.)
  • Make the muffin batter: Melt the 2 tablespoons of soft butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter starts to foam and cook, add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add the ham and 1/4 teaspoon salt and continue to stir until browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the thyme. Cool in the skillet.
  • Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together the milk, sour cream, 4 tablespoons of the melted butter and the 3 remaining eggs in a separate medium bowl. Fold the egg mixture, onion mixture, Cheddar and Parmesan into the dry ingredients until just combined (don't fret if there are lumps; it means your batter isn't over-mixed).
  • Divide half of the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Stand one egg in each cup, nestling it slightly in the batter. Spoon the remaining batter on top of the eggs, using the back of your spoon to spread the batter to make sure each egg is completely covered.
  • Lightly brush the top of the batter in the cups with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Bake until the muffin tops are golden, 35 to 40 minutes. Let the muffins rest in the hot muffin tin for at least 10 minutes. Remove, cut each muffin in half and serve warm, or transfer to a rack to cool to room temperature, cut and serve.

  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of one tests clean.
  • Cool on a rack, then store in an airtight container as soon as the muffins are at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels. Fresh corn kernels have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than frozen or canned corn. If you don't have fresh corn, you can substitute frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Use a muffin pan that has been greased or lined with paper liners. This will help the muffins to come out of the pan easily.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins will overflow and make a mess.
  • Bake the muffins until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time will vary depending on the size of your muffins, so start checking them after about 20 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help to prevent them from breaking.
