Savory Cheese Muffins With Bacon and Chives

Recipe #62995 | 40 min | 15 min prep | 12 muffins (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: PanNan

A delicious savory muffin - great for breakfast on the go, or serve with soup or salad. You can also substitute minced ham for the bacon, if you like. Note to World Tour participants - this recipe is typical of the fresh cheese and farm fresh ingredients found in Wisconsin - the MidWestern U.S. region.

    I thought these were ok. Too sweet and kind of plain. They would probably be good as a side dish with soup or eggs, but in my opinion, they don't stand well alone. If I make them again, I will use half the sugar and twice as much bacon.
