How to Make Ham And Chive Mini Muffin Appetizers

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Spray 36 mini muffin tins with cooking oil spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup milk, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg (or flax egg substitute), and 2 tablespoons dried chives.
  5. Let the wet mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the chives to soften and release their flavor.
  6. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool in the muffin tins for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the muffins cool, prepare the honey mustard sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
  11. Once the muffins are completely cool, cut each muffin in half horizontally.
  12. Spread a generous amount of honey mustard sauce on each muffin half.
  13. Drape a thin slice of ham over the bottom half of each muffin, allowing some to hang over the edges.
  14. Top with the other muffin half.
  15. Arrange the assembled mini muffins on a platter.
  16. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley.
  17. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until about 30 minutes before serving. These can also be served immediately, but are best at room temperature.
  18. These can be made ahead, sealed in plastic bags and refrigerated for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.
