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!

Taco Bell Just Brought Back Four Menu Items From a Decade Ago

Throwback fast food items are often designed around bold, indulgent flavor combinations, which can mean higher sodium, fat, and calorie counts than a standard menu item. If you’re working through a nostalgia menu, consider splitting a combo box with someone else, choosing one indulgent item per visit rather than sampling everything at once, and pairing a heavier item like a burrito or empanada with water instead of a sugary fountain drink to help balance out the meal.

Sweet Potato Tacos with Avocado Salsa

Sweet potatoes are among the most nutrient-dense vegetables available, rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. Their natural sweetness means they caramelize beautifully without added sugar, and their fiber content provides sustained energy rather than a spike and crash. Paired with avocado’s heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and queso fresco’s calcium and protein, this is a genuinely nourishing meal that happens to taste indulgent.

The Art of the Cheese Sauce: What Makes It Extraordinary and What Makes It Break

Cheese is one of the most concentrated dietary sources of calcium available, with aged cheeses providing higher calcium concentrations per serving than fresh cheeses due to the concentration that occurs during aging. The fat in cheese significantly increases the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2 — with K2 in particular playing a critical role in directing calcium to bones rather than arteries. Research increasingly suggests that full-fat dairy consumption, including cheese, is associated with neutral or beneficial cardiovascular outcomes compared to low-fat dairy alternatives, partially rehabilitating cheese from the dietary villain status it acquired during the low-fat dietary era.
