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.

  • 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.

Time 42m

Yield 24 muffins

8 strips bacon
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon reserved bacon fat
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 bunch chives, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

  • Fill each muffin cup with 1 tablespoon of the batter so the cups are filled about 3/4 of the way up. Bake in oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted into the muffins comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before icing.
  • While muffins are cooling, in a medium bowl beat the cream cheese, honey and hot sauce with a hand mixer until soft and combined. Add 3/4 of the sliced chives, reserve remaining 1/4 for a garnish. Mix until well combined.
  • Transfer mixture to a pastry bag and snip off the end.
