When a few of my blogging friends decided to make a project out of Bon Appétit magazine’s RSVP section, I knew I wanted to participate. The RSVP section is for recipes re-created at the request of readers who loved a certain dish at a restaurant.

For the July issues I chose the Mini Buttermilk Corn Muffins. I knew they would be perfect for my Cook for the Cure brunch, but I wanted to make them a little more savory to balance out the pastries I knew we would have. Luckily I had some Dai Due molasses bacon on hand, as well as roasted hot Hatch peppers I chopped and froze last summer.

The result was a super yummy bite-sized morsel with a bit of fire at the back end. These are perfect for any meal – with an omelet, a salad, or a bowl of chili.
