These were very good but I agree that it needs more green onion (which surprises me with one of your recipes Kitz) All in all though a very nice muffin. I used sharp cheddar cheese because I could not find old cheddar. Thanks Kitz

These were ok. I found the quantity of pepper a little overpowering and would cut back on that. Added more onions,3, and still could of used more

Like Nimz I couldn't find Old Cheddar either so I ended up using Sharp Cheddar as well. Other than that I made as instructed. I found these very easy to make and really liked them but don't think I would add bacon next time - I think I would like the bacon better on the side. Because they are very flavorful I think the perfect accompaniment would be eggs or something kind of bland. I loved the addition of black pepper! Thanks Kittencal!

These were lovely savoury muffins. I did use only 1 teaspoon of pepper, but may try it again with 2. As always, Kittencal, a great recipe.
