Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and thoroughly grease your muffin pan. Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl and set aside to cool slightly. Break the eggs into the same bowl with the slightly cooled melted butter and whisk gently. Next, whisk in the flour, salt and milk until just barely blended; a few lumps are fine.
2. Add in the cheddar cheese, bacon bits and chives and, using a rubber spatula, gently fold into the batter until just combined. Don’t over mix the batter.
3. Pour the batter into the muffin wells about 2/3 full and bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes only. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until nicely browned and the edges of the muffin have risen up and away slightly from the muffin pan. Do not open the oven at all during the baking time. Remove from the oven, let cool just for a few minutes, serve and enjoy!
