Ingredients

Scale

For the Muffins:

1 tbsp canola oil (or cooking spray for greasing pan)

100 g turkey bacon (about 6 strips), cooked and chopped

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

2 tbsp minced fresh chives

½ cup butter, frozen (grated for easier mixing)

1½ cups grated cheddar cheese (medium or sharp)

½ cup diced red pepper

1¼ cups cold buttermilk

1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning (optional)

Optional Everything Bagel Seasoning Mix:

¾ tsp kosher salt

1 tbsp dried onions

1 tbsp white sesame seeds

1 tsp black sesame seeds

2 tsp poppy seeds

½ tsp onion powder

¼ tsp garlic powder


Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with oil or cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and chives.

Grate frozen butter into dry ingredients. Mix lightly with fingertips to resemble coarse crumbs.

Stir in cheese, red pepper, and turkey bacon.

Add buttermilk and stir until just combined—don’t overmix.

Scoop into muffin tins and top each with everything bagel seasoning (if using).

Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool slightly and enjoy warm or at room temp.
