5 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil or butter, melted

Combine milk, oil, and remaining 2 eggs in bowl. Stir into flour mixture. Fold in scrambled egg and cheese. Spoon into muffin cups (cups will be full).

3. Bake 15 to 17 minutes our until light brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool slightly in pan on rack. Run a table knife around edges of muffins to loosen; remove from pans.
