How to Make Cheese Bacon Breakfast Muffins

  1. Cook 6 slices of short rindless bacon in a frying pan over medium-high heat until light and golden brown, stirring frequently. This should take about 4 minutes.
  2. Remove the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Increase heat to high. Add 8 oz (225g) sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, until tender. Set aside to cool.
  4. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  5. Grease a 12-hole muffin tin or a 6-hole Texas-sized muffin tin.
  6. In a large bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Add 1 ½ cups (150g) shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives. Mix well.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup (115g) melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and ½ cup (120ml) milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Gently fold in the cooked bacon and mushrooms.
  9. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  10. Bake for 15-18 minutes for regular-sized muffins or 20-25 minutes for Texas-sized muffins, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
