YEs, so glad you whipped them up. I love when I have all the ingredients!!
These are so yummy! Made them because I needed something different to serve my toddler in the mornings and this is exactly that!
Perfect for toddlers! So glad everyone loves them.
So good! I don’t have parchment so I put the scoops into my silicone muffin tins on a sheet tray. Worked amazing! Highly reccomend 🙂
Oh this is a wonderful idea, so glad you love them.
Absolutely loved these! They reheat well in my air fryer too. Thanks for the awesome recipe!
I usually make myself some kind of egg bake for busy weekday breakfasts, As soon as I saw this recipe, I knew that I wanted to try it and I’m so happy I did. It is absolutely incredible!! Can’t wait to try different variations!!
These are so good!!! I used half the amount of cheese because we’re cutting back on dairy and they still held together perfectly. They will be great for work day breakfast when I’m running behind and need to grab something quick. Thank you for another great recipe!
