Bacon and Cheese Muffins.

These are my husband's favourite muffins and they work well with bacon, ham, leftover cooked chicken or even spam. Make sure not to overbake as they will be dry instead of moist.

Very good savory muffins! These tasted a lot like corn muffins even though there's no corn meal in them. I was a little leery about 1/4 cup sugar, so I cut it back to 2 tablespoons and that was just right for us. Also used black pepper instead of cayenne pepper. If I did my temperature conversion right, 180c equals 356F, so I baked them at 350 degrees for exactly 20 minutes. Thanks for posting - I'm sure to be making these again!
