Red Onion, Cheddar and Bacon Muffins
Muffins don't have to be sweet to be delicious! This is a Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall recipe published in the Guardian. I really enjoyed these so thought I would share it. I didn't have buttermilk so substituted half Greek yoghurt and half milk and it worked fine. They went very well with home made tomato soup.

DIRECTIONS
- Heat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6 and line a muffin tin with 12 paper cases.
- Warm the oil over a medium heat and fry the bacon in it until just crisp.
- Lift the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
- In the same fat, saute the onion until just softened, about 5 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt.
- In a jug whisk the eggs, butter and buttermilk.
- Stir them into the flour mixture with a spatula until just combined then fold in the cooled bacon, onion, chives (if using) and two-thirds of the cheese until just evenly distributed.
- Spoon or scoop the mixture into the muffin tin, sprinkle on the rest of the cheese and bake for about 18 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
