- If you don't have Gruyère cheese, you can substitute another hard cheese, such as Parmesan or cheddar.
- You can use any type of bacon you like, but thick-cut bacon will give the muffins more flavor.
- Be sure to chop the scallions finely so that they distribute evenly throughout the muffins.
- If you want to make the muffins ahead of time, you can bake them and then freeze them. When you're ready to serve them, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat them in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
