French Breakfast Muffins with Bacon and Egg Frittata

I fed a total of seven guys this morning - one gorgeous old fart, aka hubby, one tween, and five 15 year olds. Normally I make heavy fare (pancakes, bacon, hash browns)with that many men in the house, but today I threw on my gorgeous white and black French apron and decided instead to air on the side of something sweet. I made two pans of muffins (24 in total) and can tell you that they were not only gone in 10 minutes flat, but my two sons told me a few times today how much they LOVED THEM!

French Breakfast Muffins: 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, 1/8 tsp. salt, 1 egg, 1/2 cup milk, 1/3 cup butter melted, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/3 cup melted butter. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, Spray muffin tins with Pam spray or with whatever you usually use to grease pans. In a medium bowl mix flour, sugar, baking powder nutmeg, and salt. Now make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add mixed wet ingredients: milk, egg, and melted butter. Stir just until moistened (may be a little lumpy). Pour batter into each muffin tin evenly and pop into the oven for about 20ish minutes. Once the muffins are done have a little bowl of melted butter and a little plate of sugar/cinnamon mixture waiting, first dipping muffin into butter and then dipping it into the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Put onto a pretty plate and voila! I just got to thinking that you could add some BENEFIBRE to this! Yum.

Bacon Egg Frittata: 8 eggs (2 per person), one whole small sauteed onion, 1/4 cup of milk, 5 strips of bacon, 1/2 cup of white cheddar (or more if you so desire). Mix all together and put into a greased casserole or pie plate and bake away for about 25 minutes or until nice and golden.

Finally.....Applause!

Cheese and Bacon Muffins

Sorry for no postings...i got new nails and its hard to type. xoxoxoxo

These muffins are so damn good I used to make them for gifts for friends and on the occasional Christmas morning. Lovely with a bowl of hot soup.
2 cups of flour, 2 tbsp of granulated sugar, 1 tsp of baking powder, ¼ tsp. Of salt, ½ cup or more of sharp cheddar, 4-5 cooked bacon strips, 1 cup of milk, ¼ cup of cooking oil, 1 egg.
Mix first 6 ingredients into a large bowl. Stir thoroughly. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients. Beat egg slightly in small bowl. Mix in milk and oil. Pour liquid ingredients into the well and stir only to moisten. Batter will be lumpy. Fill greased muffin cups ¾ full. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Let stand for about 5 minutes and remove from pan. Makes 12. ******I used to exchange milk for a tin of chicken or mushroom soup for extra flavour. Yummy!
