Deviled Ham Muffins

Here’s a snack that sounds a little unexpected but just works. Smoky deviled ham, fresh apple, and melted cheddar on a toasted English muffin? Trust the combo.

The deviled ham gets a lift from oregano, then the apple rings bring a crisp, slightly sweet contrast that cuts right through the richness. Pop them under the broiler until the cheddar goes bubbly and golden.

These make a killer after-school snack, a quick lunch, or an easy appetizer that disappears from the platter before you even sit down.

Kitchen Tips

• Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith so the rings hold their shape under the broiler
• Watch closely under the broiler; cheese goes from bubbly to burnt in seconds
• Swap the cheddar for smoked gouda to lean into that smoky-sweet flavor even more
