Steps:
- Place the bacon in a medium skillet and heat over medium heat. Cook the bacon until almost entirely crispy, about 10 minutes. Add the shallots and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, scoop the bacon mixture into a medium bowl. Add the cream cheese and gorgonzola and mix well with a rubber spatula. Using a 1-tablespoon ice cream scoop, scoop little balls of the cheese mixture and roll them between your palms to smooth. Place on a plate, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- When ready to serve, allow the balls to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Mix together the pretzels and chives in a small bowl. Roll the truffles in the crushed pretzel mixture and serve.

Steps:
- Line 12 medium 2-1/2x1-1/4 muffin cups with paper baking cups. Mix all ingredients, except cheese and bacon, just until moistened (batter will be lumpy). Fold in cheese and bacon. Divide batter among muffin cups. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes, in preheated 400* oven; cook 15 minutes.
Tips:
- To achieve the perfect texture for your muffins, ensure that you do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in dense, tough muffins. - For the bacon bits, use a sharp knife to ensure an even and consistent cut. This will help distribute the bacon's flavor evenly throughout the muffins. - If you prefer a crispier bacon texture, consider cooking the bacon in the oven at 400°F (204°C) for 15-20 minutes. This will give the bacon a more pronounced crunch. - For a milder blue cheese flavor, opt for a variety like Gorgonzola Dolce rather than a sharper blue cheese such as Roquefort. - Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile of your muffins. For example, consider adding a teaspoon of dried thyme or a dash of cayenne pepper to the batter.Conclusion:
Creating these delectable smoked bacon and blue cheese muffins is a delightful culinary experience that yields a tantalizing treat.
