How to Make Cheesy Treasure Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups all-purpose flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Gently fold in 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon, 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese, and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about 1/3 full with batter.
  6. Place one (1/2 inch) cube of jalapeño Jack cheese in the center of each muffin.
  7. Top with the remaining batter, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup cheddar cheese over the tops of the muffins.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins stand in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Serve warm and enjoy!
