Delicious Bacon And Cheese Muffins Recipe for Breakfast

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (or your favorite cheese)
  • 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (about 4-5 slices)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

    Sifting the flour can help to avoid lumps.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.

    Make sure the butter is not too hot to avoid cooking the egg.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

    Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Add Cheese and Bacon

    Fold in the shredded cheese and crumbled bacon gently.

    Reserve some cheese and bacon for topping if desired.
  6. Fill Muffin Tins

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

    Use an ice cream scoop for even portions.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Keep an eye on the muffins to prevent over-baking.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

    Serve warm for the best flavor.
