Baconhot Pepper Scallion Corn Muffins Recipes

SUNNY'S EASY BACON AND CHEESE STUFFED CORN MUFFINS WITH JALAPENO JELLY GLAZE

Steps:

• For the batter and filling: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, add the cornbread mix. In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, paprika, bacon, eggs, scallions and lime zest. Fold the egg mixture into the cornbread mix. Let rest 5 minutes.
• In a 12-cup muffin tin lined with muffin liners, divide half of the batter among all 12 cups. Then add the mozzarella in an even layer and top each with a piece of pepper jack. Gently press down to make everything even. Pour over the remaining batter and spread evenly. Bake until the tops are golden, about 20 minutes.
• For the glaze: Meanwhile, in a small pot, add the jelly, lime juice, butter and a splash of water. Heat until the mixture begins to simmer.
• Remove the muffins from the oven and immediately pour a spoonful of the glaze over the top of each. Serve warm.

BACON AND SCALLION CORN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
• In a large nonstick skillet, cook the bacon, over medium heat until crisp and brown. Transfer the bacon to paper towels; drain and cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce and eggs. Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper in a food processor. Drop in the cold butter cubes. Using on/off turns, blend until the butter is cut in finely and the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Pour the dry ingredients over the buttermilk mixture. Scatter the bacon and green onions over the batter. Using a thin, flexible spatula, fold the batter together, scraping up the liquids from the bottom each time and turning the bowl as you fold. Do not over-fold; some dry patches are fine. Using a rounded 1/3 cup of batter for each muffin, fill the paper liners.
• Bake until puffed and browning at edges, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let the muffins stand 5 to 10 minutes. Twist each muffin in place to loosen the edges from the pan. Lift the muffins out onto a rack and cool.

SAVORY BACON, CHEDDAR AND SCALLION MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease a 12-cup muffin pan or a giant 6-cup muffin pan with butter.
• Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Heat the 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and cook until slightly wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Whisk the egg, broth, milk, olive oil, sugar, mustard and salt in a large bowl. Gently stir in the flour and baking powder until evenly combined.
• Fold in the cheese, cooked scallions and cooked bacon.
• Divide the mixture among the muffin cups and bake until the muffins puff up, are golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes for a 12-cup muffin pan or 25 to 27 minutes for a giant 6-cup muffin pan.
• Let the muffins cool 5 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a wire a rack before serving.

BACON, GRUYèRE, AND SCALLION MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F and butter twelve 1/3-cup muffin tins.
• In a skillet cook bacon over moderately low heat until crisp and transfer to paper towels to drain, reserving 1/4 cup bacon fat. Crumble bacon.
• In a bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, Gruyère, scallion, and bacon. In a small bowl whisk together milk, egg, mustard, and reserved bacon fat. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring until just combined (do not overmix).
• Divide batter evenly among muffin tins and bake in middle of oven 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden and a tester comes out clean.
