Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup green onions, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with butter.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, then let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Whisk the large eggs and whole milk into the melted butter until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour the wet mixture into it. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the crumbled bacon, grated cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions into the batter. Add black pepper and mix until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature as a savory addition to your breakfast table.
