Bacon and Egg Breakfast Muffin Recipe - The Foodie Affair

 

You know how after a big meal  you slip into your food coma, moaning and groaning about how you will never eat again?

Yeah, it happens, especially after holiday meals like Thanksgiving, but in reality one large meal isn’t going to sustain you for long.

After you sleep it off, you’ll forget about how uncomfortable your waistline felt, and ummm, you’ll be hungry again!! Good thing foodies like you and me don’t take those moments too seriously!

It’s time for round two 🙂

These scrumptious muffins have bacon and scrambled eggs buried through Jiffy corn muffin mix. Make these flavorful little breakfast bundles so they are ready to grab and go at your convenience!

You’ll appreciate having a portable meal as the weeks get busier with holiday activities like SHOPPING 🙂

These muffins would also compliment a brunch menu or a special breakfast meal like Christmas morning!

If you opt to serve these for brunch, serve them with maple syrup. Drizzle a little syrup next to the muffin, and dip each forkful into the sweetness.

The sweet/salt combination is heavenly. Simply delectable, and I’m certain you’ll end up with two muffins on your plate 🙂

Yield: 12

Bacon and Egg Breakfast Muffins

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon, cut into thirds
  • 1 box Jiffy Corn muffin mix
  • 5 eggs, divided
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 Tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease muffin pan with cooking spray or butter.
  • In a large skillet cook bacon just until it begins to crisp. Remove bacon and set aside on paper towels.
  • Remove all but 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings from the skillet.
  • In a small bowl, scramble 3 eggs together adding 2 tablespoons of water, and a shake of salt and pepper.
  • Cook eggs in skillet over medium heat. Let eggs set on the bottom (without stirring). Lift the edges with a spatula allowing the liquid to seep below to cook. Cook until set and remove from pan.
  • In a small bowl stir corn muffin mix, milk, remaining two eggs, melted butter, and cheddar cheese together until blended. Add cooked eggs, breaking them up in pieces while stirring into the batter (don't over mix). Spoon into muffin cups (about 1/3 cup each), and top with a piece of bacon.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool, remove from pan. Serve with maple syrup if desired.

      • Good question! I’m not sure if there is alternative to buy it pre-packaged, but you can use the dry ingredients from a corn muffin recipe like this one -http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/16755/basic-corn-muffins Let me know how it works out for you!

    7. I love this idea. It’s something quick and easy I can whip on a Sunday night and have breakfast for my kids and husband before school and work each morning, instead of just cold cereal or frozen waffles.

    8. I make these all of the time! My boyfriend loves them and so does anyone that I’ve given them to. I just add a little more bacon and cheese! 🙂

    9. Wow these are so tasty! I bring baked goods over to my in-laws who are older and don’t cook as much anymore a few times a week and these were a hit! The dab of syrup is spot on too.

    10. I was searching for a jiffy corn bread breakfast muffin and yours popped up with *5 Stars! I like. :).

      Wondering if you could put a some maple syrup right in the mix? If so what’s your opinion on how much. For me this would be the best of both worlds grab and go with the maple taste already baked in! 😁

      • Hi Tracey! You could definitely add some maple syrup in the batter or even maple extract! I haven’t tried it, but I would try 2-3 tablespoons of the syrup and 1/4 teaspoon of the extract.

      Well it worked! I used 3/4 cup milk and a 1:4?cup maple syrup. After they were done my daughter (14) and I agreededv1/2 cup mik 1/2 cup syrup I also doubled bacon and cheese who doesn’t like more of those things! ;)).

    12. Ugh see Ssndra I KNEW I submitted that more then once daughter called me a dork and said to thank you! LOL. Thanks for the extract ides! There was barely a hint of syrup flavor with only a 1/4 cup so the extract is probably be the way to go! Thanks again!

    16. Could you make the eggs like scrambled eggs and drop them into the mix. I am making for 60 people and think the skillet egg idea may be a bit too time consuming. If I could mix them around I could cook them faster and save all the separating later.
      Have you tried this?
