Ingredients

• 16 slices Canadian bacon
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/4 cups whole milk
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 1/2 cups shredded extra sharp white cheddar
• 6 frozen fully cooked breakfast sausage links, thawed and finely chopped
• 1 small Granny Smith apple, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup prepared pesto

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375. Line each of 16 greased muffin cups with 1 slice Canadian bacon, cutting to fit as needed. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour and baking powder. In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs and maple syrup until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in the cheese, sausage, apple and cranberries. Let mixture rest 10 minutes. Divide batter among muffin cups, about 1/4 cup batter per cup.

3. Bake muffins until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm, with pesto.
