SAVORY BACON, CHEDDAR AND SCALLION MUFFINS



Savory Bacon, Cheddar and Scallion Muffins image

Provided by Alejandra Ramos

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more at room temperature for the muffin pan
4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
2 bunches scallions, sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 large egg
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground mustard powder or 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Cheddar (if you can find a beer Cheddar, use that!)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease a 12-cup muffin pan or a giant 6-cup muffin pan with butter.
  • Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Heat the 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and cook until slightly wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Whisk the egg, broth, milk, olive oil, sugar, mustard and salt in a large bowl. Gently stir in the flour and baking powder until evenly combined.
  • Fold in the cheese, cooked scallions and cooked bacon.
  • Divide the mixture among the muffin cups and bake until the muffins puff up, are golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes for a 12-cup muffin pan or 25 to 27 minutes for a giant 6-cup muffin pan.
  • Let the muffins cool 5 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a wire a rack before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the muffins.
  • Grate the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can affect the taste and texture of the muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool slightly before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Cheddar onion muffins are a delicious and versatile snack or side dish. They are perfect for potlucks, picnics, or lunch boxes. With their cheesy, oniony flavor and tender crumb, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
