Chef's Note

These muffins freeze beautifully! Make a double batch and freeze individually wrapped muffins for quick breakfasts throughout the week. To reheat, microwave for 30 seconds or warm in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes. For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the batter.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese

  • 1/4 cup gruyere cheese

  • 2 stalks green onions

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 6-cup muffin tin with 1 tablespoon of butter.

  • 2

    Cook 4 slices of bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.

  • 3

    Finely chop 2 green onions, separating the white and green parts.

  • 4

    In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1/4 cup of milk until well combined.

  • 5

    In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.

  • 6

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

  • 7

    Grate 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of gruyere cheese if not already shredded.

  • 8

    Fold the chopped bacon, white parts of the green onions, 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme, and 3/4 of the cheese mixture into the batter.

  • 9

    Divide the batter evenly among 6 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

  • 10

    Sprinkle the remaining cheese and the green parts of the onions on top of each muffin.

  • 11

    Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • 12

    Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm.
