Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease muffin pan with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large skillet cook bacon just until it begins to crisp. Remove bacon and set aside on paper towels.

Step 3

Remove all but 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings from the skillet.

Step 4

In a small bowl, scramble 3 eggs together adding 2 tablespoons of water, and a shake of salt and pepper.

Step 5

Cook eggs in skillet over medium heat. Let eggs set on the bottom (without stirring). Lift the edges with a spatula allowing the liquid to seep below to cook. Cook until set and remove from pan.

Step 6

In a small bowl stir corn muffin mix, milk, remaining two eggs, melted butter, and cheddar cheese together until blended. Add cooked eggs, breaking them up in pieces while stirring into the batter (don't over mix). Spoon into muffin cups (about 1/3 cup each), and top with a piece of bacon.

Step 7

Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool, remove from pan. Serve with maple syrup if desired.
