Savory Bacon & Cheddar Muffins

Bacon and cheddar cheese in a warm fluffy muffin would be just as welcome at the breakfast table with eggs and coffee...as they would at the dinner table with chili or soup. thank you The Cozy Little Kitchen



1 1/2 c. all purpose flour

1/2 c. corn meal (I happened to have yellow self rising corn meal mix and it was good.)

1 Tbsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp. salt

2 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese, divided (I only had Colby jack so that's what I used this time.)

6-8 bacon slices, cooked crisp and chopped

1 egg, beaten

1 c. milk (I always use skim.)

1/4 c. butter, melted

 

• Preheat oven to 425 F.
• Combine dry ingredients into a large bowl. 
• Stir in 2 c. cheese and bacon; set side. 
• Blend egg, milk, and butter in a medium bowl and stir it in the flour mixture until just incorporated. 
• Fill greased muffin cups 3/4 full with batter. 
• Sprinkle on remaining cheese. 
• Bake for 12-15 minutes. 
• Let cool about 5 before removing from pan
