Breakfast Muffins (Stuffed with Eggs, Bacon, and Cheese)

Breakfast Muffins Stuffed with Eggs, Bacon, and Cheese

When we were little, my mom used to buy these buttermilk biscuits that were stuffed with eggs, cheese, and bacon. They were some obscure brand that we bought a CostCo and I've never quite found other versions that quite were like them. So when I saw this recipe, I knew that I had to try them. And they're made in muffin tins, so how fun is that!

While I was making these, my boyfriend walked into the kitchen and looked at me assembling everything. He asked me what I was doing and then said, "Wouldn't it be easier and less time if you just made them all separate and just eat it together?" It took me a bit to respond because, really, he's right and his thought process makes sense. But this is how I want to make them and they still taste good. :-)

I doused my muffins with hot sauce, so next time I might try adding hot sauce inside the biscuits as well as maybe adding some chopped green chile! That's a New Mexican to the core. :-)

I also had every intention of freezing the leftovers and warming them in the microwave before heading off to school/work. But these were gone by the end of the weekend. We had them for breakfast on Saturday and for lunch on Sunday. So no leftovers. Maybe next time I'll double the batch!
