1 1/2 cups all-purpose baking mix
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; add onion, and sauté 3 to 5 minutes or until tender.
Combine baking mix and half of cheese in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture.
Stir together milk and egg, blending well; add to cheese mixture, stirring until moistened. Stir in onion and ham. Spoon into lightly greased muffin pans, filling two-thirds full. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese. Sprinkle with poppy seeds, if desired.
Bake at 425° for 18 minutes or until golden. Let stand 2 to 3 minutes before removing from pans.
