Bacon and Cheddar Breakfast Muffins

The only note on this recipe from my mom was Bed and Breakfast. I am assuming they had these during one of their stays at a Bed and Breakfast years ago. It has been years since I made these and I just found the recipe card and remembered how delicious they were. What a wonderful breakfast “to go” muffin – quick and easy to prepare. Easy to take along and wonderful with a cup of coffee!
