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 Cook Who Feeds Themselves Well: A Guide to Solo Cooking at Its Best

Research on solo eating and dietary quality has found a complex picture that complicates the simple narrative that eating alone is nutritionally inferior to eating with others. While shared meals are associated with greater dietary variety and higher vegetable consumption on average, solo eaters who cook for themselves regularly — who apply genuine attention to the meals they prepare alone — demonstrate dietary quality comparable to or better than people who eat primarily in social settings but rely on restaurant or processed food. The determinant of dietary quality in solo eating is not the absence of company but the presence of cooking — the act of preparing food from whole ingredients for oneself, regardless of audience, is what most strongly predicts nutritional quality in solo eating contexts.

Garlic Butter Baked Chicken Breast

Combining butter and olive oil in the basting mixture means you get the flavor complexity of butter and the stability of olive oil’s monounsaturated fats with a smaller amount of each than either alone would require. Chicken breast is one of the leanest, highest-protein cuts available, and the basting method keeps it juicy without adding significant additional fat beyond the modest amount in the basting mixture.

Happy National Root Beer Float Day — A&W Is Giving Away Free Floats Today

A classic root beer float is one of the more reasonable fast food desserts — a small float at A&W typically runs around 200 calories, which is significantly less than most milkshakes or blended frozen drinks. The vanilla soft serve provides a small amount of calcium and protein, and enjoying it as a standalone treat rather than tacking it on after a full meal keeps the overall intake in check. If you’re making a root beer float at home to celebrate the day, using a diet root beer and a small scoop of low-fat vanilla ice cream gives you the same nostalgic experience with a fraction of the calories.
