Instructions

- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full for even cooking.

- Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain a crispy texture.
- Customize by adding sautéed onions, spinach, or substituting with dairy-free cheese for dietary preferences.
