        Hi Mary
        I would wrap the muffins in a paper towel then heat on defrost until warm. Hope that helps and thanks for visiting easyhealth living!

      Can you substitute the ham for sausage or lean cut bacon?

        Hi Cathy,
        I've never made this recipe with anything other than ham, but I think either sausage or bacon would be delicious. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
