The whole family will love these delicious Egg Muffins packed with streaky bacon, cheddar cheese and chives!
I had no idea how to categorise this recipe. Egg muffins are generally seen as a breakfast recipe but we quite often eat these for lunch and sometimes as a snack too. Basically they’re super versatile and good to eat any time of the day!
There are so many variations to the classic egg muffin recipe but I really love the combination of bacon, cheddar cheese and chives. Using whole slices of streaky bacon means there’s less prep as you don’t have to cut the bacon up and also creates a delicious swirl of bacon throughout the muffins!

Both my kids loved these. My 1 yr old daughter doesn’t eat much and she had 3 minis!
that’s brilliant!
Oh my god, we love these! I even made a batch for my grandma who is quite elderly and doesn’t have much of an appetite these days and she really enjoyed them too. We will be making these a lot!

Hi! Sounds so yummy! Im making this right now. What dry herbs do you suggest work well with the chives?
Hi Stephanie, I use mixed dried herbs all the time. Or Italian herbs / oregano would work well too.
