- Stir in 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and ½ cup milk.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Crumble the cooked bacon into the batter.
- Stir in the reserved 2 tablespoons of bacon grease and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
- Gently fold the batter until everything is just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before serving.
