When muffins are mentioned, we tend to think about fluffy, sweet, individual portion cakes, however these savory muffins are just as delicious and can be eaten for breakfast.

Time: 35 min

Quantity: 24

Ingredients:

  • 3 rashers bacon without rind, finely chopped
  • 150 g self-raising flour

  • 1 tsp mustard powder
  • 1 egg
  • 125 ml milk

  1. Heat the oven to 180°C. Line an muffin tray serving 24, or 12 bigger ones, with paper cupcake holders.
  2. Heat a frying pan on moderate heat and fry the bacon until browned. Place on kitchen paper to absorb the fats.
