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!

Starbucks Holiday Creamers Are Already Showing Up at Grocery Stores — In July

Holiday-flavored creamers are a fun seasonal treat for your morning coffee — but they tend to be higher in sugar and calories than plain cream or milk. A typical flavored creamer serving is one tablespoon, but most people pour two to four times that amount without measuring. Using a measuring spoon for the first few pours helps calibrate your habit and keeps the sugar from quietly adding up before 8 a.m. The non-dairy versions like Sugar Cookie and Maple Pecan are worth checking for those avoiding dairy, though they often contain comparable amounts of added sugar to their dairy counterparts — reading the label is the best move regardless of which format you choose.

The Salt of the Earth: A Deep Dive Into the World’s Most Essential Mineral

The vast majority of dietary sodium in the contemporary American diet — approximately seventy percent — comes from processed and packaged foods rather than from salt added during cooking or at the table. This means that reducing the salt used in home cooking has a relatively modest impact on total sodium intake for most people, while reducing consumption of processed foods has a substantially larger one. The cook who seasons food properly with salt during home cooking is adding a small fraction of the sodium present in a single serving of most processed snack foods, fast food, or restaurant meals — making thoughtful home cooking with adequate salt a meaningfully lower-sodium dietary pattern than convenience food eating with no added salt.

Grilled Pesto Turkey Burgers

Ground turkey is significantly leaner than ground beef while still delivering high-quality protein, and mixing pesto into the patty rather than using a heavier sauce on top adds flavor and moisture without excessive added fat.
