One way to make a meal more versatile or interesting is to try alternative cooking methods. Although the title of this recipe is Ham and Cheese Puffs, don’t let that limit you to only making these in a doughnut hole–shaped pan. A muffin tin and liners work perfectly. If you have nonstick pans in other shapes or countertop cooking appliances, such as a mini doughnut pan or a waffle maker, try a batch in each. Fun shapes keep things interesting!
