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!

Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme Fangs Are Back for the First Time in Two Years

The individually-wrapped format of Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme Fangs is one of the most effective natural portion control tools in the candy aisle — each bar is snack-sized rather than full-sized, making it easy to have one and feel satisfied without working through a full bar. When buying Halloween candy this early in the season, storing it somewhere less visible — a cabinet rather than a bowl on the counter — dramatically reduces the likelihood of mindless snacking between now and October. Out of sight really does mean out of mind when it comes to candy.

Baked Dill Pickle Pretzels

Baking rather than frying keeps these pretzels significantly lighter than their deep-fried counterparts while still achieving a satisfying golden exterior. The pickle juice contributes natural sodium and vinegar, which means less added salt is needed to achieve bold, well-seasoned flavor throughout the dough.

The Pasta That Takes Twenty Minutes and Tastes Like It Took All Day

Pasta — particularly pasta made from semolina durum wheat and cooked al dente — has a significantly lower glycemic index than most other refined grain preparations, producing a slower and more sustained blood glucose response than white bread, white rice, or overcooked pasta made from the same flour. The al dente cooking that professional cooks prefer for texture reasons also preserves the pasta’s intact starch structure, which slows digestion and moderates the glycemic response further. Adding olive oil and protein-containing ingredients — anchovies, tuna, eggs, cheese — to pasta further reduces the glycemic impact of the meal by slowing the digestion of the carbohydrates, making a properly made pasta with protein and good fat a metabolically appropriate meal for most people.
