savory breakfast muffins

This morning I made muffins…but not sweet cupcake-like muffins…these are savory muffins with bacon, zucchini and carrots….plus extra sharp cheddar cheese!  The Farmer gave them a thumbs up!

These little savory muffins are like miniature omelets, but firm enough to eat with your fingers.  We agreed that they would be wonderful with some sliced avocado on top.   The Farmer enjoyed his with ketchup this morning because….oops…we didn’t have any ripe avocados!

We sat outside on the porch with our coffee, enjoying every last one of them…marveling at the blend of flavors…the carrots added just enough sweetness …there is no sugar in the recipe.  The perfect Sunday morning treat!
