Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4.5 ounces cheddar cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 5 lices cooked bacon crumbled or chopped into small pieces
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 5 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a muffin tin with 10 paper liners.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add about ¾ of the cheese, the chives, and the bacon. Stir everything together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and melted butter.
- Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not too over-mix (too much mixing will result in a dry, tough muffin). The batter will be lumpy, and that’s fine!
- Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and firm.

Notes
- Don't have cheddar? Use any good melting cheese such as gruyere or fontina cheese
- Use cooked smoked bacon for extra flavor
- If you don't have bacon cooked ham would work well
- Make a double batch and store them in a freezer for a delicious breakfast, fast (defrost the night before and warm up in the oven the next day)
