Recipe by Cheryl Phipps This blue ribbon winner from the Utah State Fair transforms a classic pasta dish into a muffin. Alfredo sauce and Parmesan cheese are mixed into the batter and each muffin is topped with crispy bacon.

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 lb. sliced bacon
  • 1 small portobello mushroom
  • 1/2 small onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 c. cornmeal
  • 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. Black pepper
  • 1 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 c. grated Parmesan
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. grated Parmesan
  • 1 c. buttermilk
  • 1/2 c. jarred Alfredo sauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 scallion
  • Mixed green salad

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat 8 muffin holes with cooking spray.
  2. Working in batches, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; roughly chop when cool. Reserve 1/4 cup of the drippings and wipe out the skillet.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons bacon drippings in the skillet over medium heat. Add the mushroom, onion, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, thyme, and 1/2 cup Parmesan.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, Alfredo sauce, eggs, scallion, and the remaining 2 tablespoons bacon drippings. Stir in the mushroom mixture.
  6. Gently stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture along with two-thirds (about 1 1/3 cups) of the chopped bacon. Divide the batter among the muffin cups (about a heaping 1/2 cup per hole) and top with the remaining bacon. Bake for 10 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons Parmesan and bake until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes more. Serve with a salad, if desired.
