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)

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.
