Chef's Note
These savory muffins are perfect for busy students! Make a batch on Sunday and you'll have grab-and-go breakfasts all week. For extra savings, use whatever vegetables you have on hand - leftover roasted vegetables work great too. You can also substitute the ham with any leftover protein you might have.
