Savory Egg-Stuffed Bacon and Cheese Muffins

Healthy Fact of the Day

The combination of eggs, bacon, and cheese is often referred to as a "breakfast trifecta" due to their popularity and complementary flavors. These ingredients not only taste great together but also provide a balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates to help fuel your day.

Ingredients

 

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon
  • 6 small egg

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin or line it with large muffin liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and 2 large eggs until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Using the back of a spoon, create a small well in the center of each muffin.
  7. Crack a small egg into each well, being careful not to break the yolk.
  8. Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and the eggs are set to your desired level of doneness.
  9. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  10. Serve the egg-stuffed bacon and cheese muffins warm, and enjoy the gooey, savory goodness in every bite!

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

The Lost Language of Regional American Food

Traditional regional food cultures in the United States — including the Appalachian tradition of wild-gathered greens and heirloom legumes, the Low Country tradition of rice and field peas, and the indigenous Hawaiian tradition of fermented taro — tend to incorporate high levels of dietary fiber, fermented foods, and diverse plant varieties that modern nutritional research consistently identifies as health-supportive. The homogenization of American food culture toward processed and standardized products has reduced the dietary diversity that regional food traditions provided — making the preservation and practice of regional food cultures a nutritional matter as well as a cultural one.

Lemon Chicken Romano

Pounding chicken breasts to an even thickness before breading is more than a technique preference—it ensures the chicken cooks through quickly and evenly, reducing the time it spends in the pan and minimizing the amount of fat absorbed by the crust.

Pepsi Just Dropped a 28-Can Variety Pack at Costco — And It’s Three of the Summer’s Hottest Sodas in One Box

Creamy sodas like these tend to be higher in sugar than standard sodas due to the additional flavoring syrups — but buying in a variety pack format actually makes portion mindfulness easier. Having three distinct flavors available means you’re more likely to treat each one as an occasional indulgence rather than a daily habit. If you’re a regular soda drinker looking to cut back, alternating cans with sparkling water throughout the day is an easy way to enjoy the fizz without the added sugar on every pour.
