1. Directions
2. First you are going to want to preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.  Then, with the non-stick cooking spray, lightly coat a 9 by 5 by 3 inch metal loaf pan then place it aside.
3. Next for your mother’s day brunch, take a medium sized bowl and whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ¾ teaspoon dry mustard, kosher salt and cayenne until they become a combined mixture.  Then take a large bowl and whisk together ¾ cup of milk, the oil, 1 tablespoon of honey and the eggs.  Combine the mixture until it becomes smooth.
4. Then stir in the dry ingredients until the two mixtures become just combined, after the dry and wet mixtures are combined fold in the ham, ¾ cups of shredded cheese, the diced cheese and the scallions.
5. Third, pour the batter into the non-stick prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the top of with the remaining ¼ cup of shredded cheese.  Then stick the loaf pan into the oven and bake until the combination inside has well rise, golden brown and stick a tooth pick in it to see if it comes out clean, if so then it is ready.
6. Let the pan cool for 10 minutes, while the pan is cooling take out a microwave safe bowl and stir together 1 tablespoon of honey and milk and the remaining 1 ½ teaspoons of dry mustard until this mixture is smoothed out.  Then place it in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds until it is hot and even bubbling.  Turn the loaf out on a wire rack and generously brush with the warm glaze, let that cool and serve.
