Happy Memorial Day!
You guys. . where did the year go?! We are one week away from June and SUMMER!!! I can’t believe it. Our summer will be filled with parties, entertaining, traveling and just some good old fashioned summer fun and relaxing. This is the plan at least. And if we can fit in swim lessons for the girls, even better.
School ends in a couple of weeks and with that, some graduation parties and other end of the school year parties. I’ll be making these savory cheddar cheese, chive and bacon muffins!
After making 
Cheddar Cheese Chive and Bacon Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter plus extra for greasing the muffin pan
- 3 large eggs at room temp
- 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup milk you can use whole milk or 2%
- 1 cup cheddar cheese freshly grated
- 5 slices bacon cut in half, cooked until crispy and chopped into small pieces
- 1/4 cup chives finely diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and thoroughly grease your muffin pan. Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl and set aside to cool slightly. Break the eggs into the same bowl with the slightly cooled melted butter and whisk gently. Next, whisk in the flour, salt and milk until just barely blended; a few lumps are fine.

I am very excited about this summer thing that is happening. VERY. And with it, all the BBQs and potlucks and delicious muffins! These look really good. They’re full of goodness, so how could they not be? I love bread that is filled with cheese. It’s pretty much where it all is at!
Summer can’t come sooner. We have three more weeks of school and then exams. I can’t believe how fast the year flew by. Alice, these muffins would be perfect for a summer cookout! 🙂

Sweet muffins are awesome and all, but hand me a savory muffin filled with BACON and cheese and I am one happy girl. These look soooooo darn addicting. I have no doubt I’d eat the entire batch. 😉
Cheddar + bacon + chive is a marriage made in heaven. Granted, a polygamous marriage but still a marriage and made in heaven.
Those muffins look amazing, I could use a couple today for lunch!
Seriously! I can’t believe the year is nearly halfway over! Where does the time go!? Hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! These muffins are redonkulous – way better than just ridiculous 😉 I mean really, just look at how moist the inside is! I would totally devour an entire tin of these! You ROCK!
What a perfect way to start the day – or a perfect afternoon pick-me-up! These look wonderful Alice!
My kids would devour these, if they could get them away from me first! I love these fluffy, savory muffins!
Oh my gosh I love the addition of bacon in these muffins! Just what I need, one more way to eat bacon!
I love these savory muffins – perfect for a party!
I adore savory muffins and popovers! I don’t think you can ever have too many recipes just like this! Definitely addictive!
Oh yum! Alice I am loving all the flavors combined in these muffins! School is out here in Atlanta and we usually grab something prepared for breakfast now and it would be wonderful to have a stash of these muffins to enjoy for breakfast, lunch or dinner even!
I can’t believe it’s summer too! This reminds me, I need to look at my new year’s resolutions and see which have fallen by the wayside already! These muffins look spectacular!!
This is my kind of muffin!
I don’t even want to talk about how fast this year has gone by. I seriously can’t believe that it is almost June! These little muffins are perfect for end of the school year parties and events. Love the cheesy goodness!
So. Much. Yes.
