Egg Muffin Cups
Egg Muffin Cups made with eggs, sour cream, half and half, chives, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning bake into tender, savory individual portions. These cups have a delicate custard-like texture with a cheesy, herb-infused flavor that works well for breakfast or snacks. Their handheld form makes them convenient for easy serving and portion control.

Ingredients
- 6 egg
- ½ Cup sour cream
- 1 Tablespoon chives
- ½ Cup half and half
- ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F degrees and spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease with butter.
- In a medium mixing bowl either whisk by hand or use a hand mixer to beat all ingredients well.
- Pour into the muffin tin filling the cups halfway, this should be about ¼ to ⅓ of a cup in each well.
- Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Your egg cups may puff up over the top of the muffin cups, but they will shrink back down some once you take them out and they cool.
- Remove the egg cups from the oven when done baking and allow to cool if storing to eat later, otherwise serve warm.

Notes
- Divide the egg mixture into separate bowls to add different fillings like sausage or vegetables for variety.
- Egg cups may puff up during baking but will shrink back slightly when cooled.
- Use whole eggs or egg whites depending on texture preference; substitute as needed while keeping seasoning consistent.
- Cooked egg cups can be stored refrigerated and reheated gently to maintain tenderness.
