Tips and Variations:

• Preheat the Oven: Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking to guarantee even cooking.
• Grease the Muffin Pan Properly: Use a non-stick cooking spray or butter to grease the mini muffin pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
• Mix Batter Just Right: Avoid overmixing the pancake batter to maintain a fluffy texture.
• Experiment with Cheese: Try different types of melty cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack to customize the flavor profile.
• Don’t Overfill: Fill each muffin cup only about two-thirds full to prevent overflow during baking.
• Season Thoughtfully: Add herbs or spices like chives, thyme, or smoked paprika to enhance the savory taste.
• Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the muffins while baking to prevent overcooking, as they can dry out quickly.
• Let Them Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Serve Warm: These muffins are best enjoyed warm, so consider reheating briefly before serving if necessary.
• Pair with a Side: Serve with fresh fruit, avocado slices, or a simple green salad for a well-rounded breakfast.
• Customize with Sauces: Offer condiments like hot sauce, salsa, or maple syrup for dipping or drizzling over the muffins.
• Perfect for Meal Prep: Make a batch ahead of time and store them for quick breakfasts throughout the week.
• Freeze for Later: These muffins freeze well, making them an excellent option for meal prep or quick on-the-go breakfasts.
• Reheat Properly: When reheating frozen muffins, place them in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds or until heated through.
