Cheese and Bacon Muffins

Cheese and Bacon Muffins are simply gorgeous. When you don’t know what to eat, whether it be breakfast, brunch or even a snack, these will fit. They are in effect a breakfast meal in a handy size. You can use muffin tins but I use cup cake holders to make them easier to move and easier to consume. The Bacon, Egg and Welsh Cheese all make this work so well. The addition of Welsh Cheese makes them have a lovely aroma and additional body.  Cheese and Bacon Muffins is classified as a “Easy” Recipe to produce and well worth the time. The results are always amazing.
