A break from all the sweet muffins and the super indulgent holiday series is much welcome this week. This Monday’s muffin comes from BBC Good Food – an Onion and Triple Cheese Muffin. Since it were the words ‘triple cheese’ that drew me to the recipe in the first place, there was no way I was going to change that aspect.
And then there was that question of bacon, the one thing that you can’t ever get enough of in a savory muffin.
Do you remember the bacon crumble I added onto the Cheddar Bacon Crumble Muffin? That would have been perfect. But I’d run out and had to substitue it with smoked chicken sausages instead. I also switched the green onions for caramelized onions and am happy to report that this probably works better…
So there you have it – Caramelized Onions + Smoked chicken sausages + Triple Cheese – a perfect – if slightly indulgent – breakfast on the go!
