Ingredients

6 slices bacon - cut in half
6 large eggs
to taste salt and pepper
1 cup all purpose flour
½ cup yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoon sugar
2 ½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
¼ cup vegetable oil
½ cup cheddar cheese - shredded

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Cook the bacon in a large skillet until it just starts to crisp, then remove and drain on paper towels. Drain the skillet and reserve the bacon drippings.
In a small bowl, beat 4 of the eggs with 2 tablespoon water and a dash of salt and pepper. Cook the eggs in a hot skillet in 2 teaspoon of the reserved bacon drippings until just set around the edges.
Brush about ½ teaspoon of bacon grease in each cup of a 12 cup muffin tin and set aside.
Stir together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil and remaining two eggs – beat together well. Stir this into the flour mixture until just combined, then use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the scrambled eggs and cheese.
Spoon equal amounts into the prepared muffin tins and place one piece of bacon into each muffin.
Bake for 15 – 17 minutes, or until lightly browned on top and a toothpick test comes out clean.
Cool slightly in muffin tin, then run a sharp knife around each one to loosen and remove from pan.
