Bacon and Cheddar Cheese Breakfast Muffins

I always try to make something special for breakfast when I have house guests, and these breakfast muffins are easy and decadent.  With bacon and cheese they make for a rich and hearty breakfast.  















Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 17 min
Makes: 6 muffins

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
6 slices bacon, well cooked, drained and coarsely chopped
1 cup grated very sharp cheddar cheese
1 egg
2 tbsp oil
1 cup buttermilk

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven (or toaster oven if the pan will fit) to 350 degrees.  Brush a 6-muffin tin with oil.

Thoroughly mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.  Add the bacon pieces and the cheese and mix in thoroughly.  Whisk the egg, oil and buttermilk together in a small bowl, then stir them into the dry ingredients.

Even distribute the batter into the prepared tin and bake for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of one of the muffins comes out clean.  Remove from the oven.  Allow to cool for just a couple of minutes, then remove them from the muffin tin and serve while warm.
