Bacon and Egg Breakfast Muffins

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Brush 4 Texas muffin tin holes with with butter. (Note 3)

Step 2

Heat a non stick pan over high heat. Add bacon and fry until lightly browned. Remove onto a paper towel to drain the fat, then set aside.

Step 3

Place Dry Ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine.

Step 4

Whisk Wet Ingredients in a separate bowl.

Step 5

Pour the Wet Ingredients into the Dry Ingredients until flour is almost incorporated (limit to 8 stirs!) - don't overmix (makes muffins hard).

Step 6

Add green onion, bacon and cheese, stir 5 times.

Step 7

Place 1/4 cup batter into each of the 4 muffin tin holes.

Step 8

Use spoon to make a well in the batter, crack egg into each well.

Step 9

Divide the remaining batter between each hole to cover the egg - best way is to dollop batter around the yolk, then on top of the yolk, then spread to cover (see video).

Step 10

Brush the muffins with melted butter, then bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.

Step 12

Best served warm!
