For our brunches, we bake eggs in cornbread cups. With cheddar sauce and more cheese sprinkled on top, they make a cute little meal-in-one package. —Lisa Speer, Palm Beach, Florida

- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon
- 12 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper

- 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 1-1/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, combine muffin mix, buttermilk and sour cream just until moistened; fold in cheese and bacon. Spoon into 12 greased muffin cups. Crack an egg into each cup; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake until egg whites are completely set and yolks are still soft, 18-22 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.

Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup cheese, thyme and 1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt until cheese is melted.
- Serve muffins with sauce; sprinkle with the remaining cheese and seasoned salt. Serve immediately.
