Cornbread Stuffing Muffins with Ham and Sage

These savoury cornbread stuffing muffins with ham and sage offer a delightful twist on traditional poultry stuffing. By combining crumbly cornbread with smoked ham and aromatic leeks, these muffins provide a sophisticated flavour profile that is both sweet and salty. This high-protein dish is particularly convenient for hostessing, as the individual portions are easy to serve and look beautiful on a festive dinner table.

Perfect as a substantial side for a Sunday roast or as a standalone snack, these muffins can be prepared a day in advance and gently reheated. The use of fresh thyme and rubbed sage ensures a deeply comforting aroma that pairs excellently with roast chicken or turkey. For a balanced meal, serve them alongside seasonal greens and a rich onion gravy.

How to make Cornbread Stuffing Muffins with Ham and Sage

Preheat oven to 177°C. Generously butter twelve 1/3-cup nonstick muffin cups. Divide cornbread cubes and white bread cubes between 2 rimmed baking sheets. Dry slightly in oven, about 5 minutes. Cool. Transfer to large bowl.

Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and celery; cook until soft, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Add ham; stir 1 minute. Add all herbs, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper; stir to blend. Add vegetable mixture to bread; toss. Add eggs and broth; toss. Let stand 5 minutes; toss again. Spoon about 120ml stuffing mixture into each muffin cup. Press to compact. Mound about 120ml remaining stuffing mixture over stuffing in each muffin cup, pressing to hold shape.

Bake muffins until golden, about 22 minutes. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Using small plastic knife, loosen muffins. Transfer to rack; cool.

DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, cover, and chill. Rewarm uncovered in microwave in 30-second intervals, or covered loosely with foil in 177°C oven, about 15 minutes.
