Bacon and Egg Muffins
Description
The recipe begins by preheating the oven and preparing a muffin tin. Bacon is cooked until just crisp and set aside, then the excess fat is reduced in the pan. Scrambled eggs are made in the same skillet, cooked until set but still tender. Corn muffin mix is combined with milk, eggs, melted butter, and shredded cheddar cheese to form a thick batter. Cooked scrambled eggs are broken into pieces and folded into the batter, which is then portioned into muffin cups. Each muffin is topped with a piece of bacon before baking at 400°F until a toothpick comes out clean.
This creates a textured muffin that is moist from the eggs and cheese with a savory bacon topping. The corn muffin base provides light sweetness and crumb, balancing the rich fillings. Maple syrup served alongside can add contrast with sweetness if desired.
These muffins are portable and suitable for a quick, protein-rich breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 4 lices Bacon cut into thirds
- 1 corn muffin mix box, Jiffy brand
- 5 egg divided
- 1 cup milk
- 3 Tablespoons butter melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- maple syrup optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease muffin pan with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large skillet cook bacon just until it begins to crisp. Remove bacon and set aside on paper towels.
- Remove all but 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings from the skillet.
- In a small bowl, scramble 3 eggs together adding 2 tablespoons of water, and a shake of salt and pepper.
- Cook eggs in skillet over medium heat. Let eggs set on the bottom (without stirring). Lift the edges with a spatula allowing the liquid to seep below to cook. Cook until set and remove from pan.
- In a small bowl stir corn muffin mix, milk, remaining two eggs, melted butter, and cheddar cheese together until blended. Add cooked eggs, breaking them up in pieces while stirring into the batter (don't over mix). Spoon into muffin cups (about 1/3 cup each), and top with a piece of bacon.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool, remove from pan. Serve with maple syrup if desired.
