SAVORY ONION-BACON CHEESE MUFFINS

Make and share this Savory Onion-Bacon Cheese Muffins recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 slices cooked bacon, finely crumbled
1 cup old cheddar cheese, grated
3 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder (use a semi-heaping tablespoon!)
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons black pepper (can use 1 teaspoon)
1 -2 large green onion, finely chopped (can use more)
1 cup milk
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1/4 cup old cheddar cheese, finely grated

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees (second-lowest oven rack).
  • Grease 12 muffin tins.
  • Set aside 1/4 cup grated cheese.
  • In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, black pepper and green onions; stir in crumbled bacon and 1 cup cheddar cheese.

  • Divided between the muffin tins.
  • Sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup (can use more) cheddar cheese on top of each muffin batter.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes or until the muffins test done.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Ensure the baking powder is fresh. Old baking powder can prevent the muffins from rising properly.

  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the muffins dry.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
