Step 1

Preheat the oven to fan 180℃ / 200℃ / 400℉. Line a 12 hole muffin tin with paper cases.

Step 2

Dry fry the bacon until cooked and starting to take on colour, then move to a chopping board or plate, leaving the pan on a low heat.

Step 3

Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan and add the onion and thyme leaves. Fry the onion until softened and turn off the heat.

Step 4

Slice the cooked bacon into fairly large pieces.

Step 5

In one large mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt together. Add the bacon, stilton and onion and stir until combined.

Step 6

In another mixing bowl whisk the milk, oil, egg and melted butter together.

Step 7

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined – try not to overmix as this will make your muffins heavier and denser.

Step 8

Spoon the mix evenly into the muffin cases and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until firm and golden.
