- 4Stir in the beaten egg until well combined.

- 3Gently fold the diced jalapeños into the cooled rarebit mixture.

Tips
- Ensure jalapeños are finely diced and seeds are removed for a balanced flavor and heat.
- Do not overmix the muffin batter to ensure a tender texture. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
- Serve warm for the best cheesy, melty experience. Garnish with chives or a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
