These garlic cream cheese and bacon biscuit muffins land somewhere between a flaky biscuit and a savory stuffed muffin, and that middle ground is a truly wonderful place. Each muffin bakes up golden with a garlicky, cheesy, bacony center that makes them completely irresistible warm from the oven. They’re perfect as a breakfast side, a brunch centerpiece, or a savory snack that works for a crowd. Make them for any gathering where you want people to hover around the food table — these always cause a stir.
- Swap: Use turkey bacon and reduced-fat cream cheese to lighten things up without losing the savory, cheesy filling.
- Make-ahead: Assemble and refrigerate unbaked muffins up to 24 hours ahead; bake fresh for the best rise and texture.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds or oven at 350°F.
- Variation: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes and a bit of shredded cheddar to the filling for a spicy, cheesy upgrade.
- Serving: Serve warm alongside a bowl of soup or a big salad for a complete, satisfying meal.
The weekend is approaching and if your anything like me your big plans are snuggling on the couch with your other half, watching a move and having a few glasses of vino (well I drink cider but wine is more recognized 😉 ). So a few glasses in and the munchies attack.. and you just know (because the drinks are speaking not your common sense) that an apple or banana is not going to cut it, and you dont want chips because you know you’ll eat the whole bag!! Nope, you want food! You know… food you would get at the bar if you were out with your friends drinking, those appetizers that make you drool.. that ooey goeey cheesy bread…Mmmmmm bread… 🙂 Well that’s why I came up with these little biscuit muffins.. They are pretty simple to whip up, only a few ingredients needed and filled with cream cheese, a little bacon and surrounded by bread…Mmmmm remember bread. 🙂 They are only 2 points each, so no guilt necessary.. Best served warm right out of the oven!
