My father loves to entertain, and these buttery egg delights are one of his favorite items to serve at brunch. The leftovers are perfect to reheat in the microwave on busy mornings, so Dad always stashes a few aside for me to take home once the party is over.

I made these for a quick Sunday breakfast today and am very pleased.

I followed the recipe exactly. The only difference I made, was that I added 4 slices of precooked crumbled bacon to the "batter" before putting in the muffin tins.

I halved the recipe as I am only cooking for two. These turned out great. They looked just like the picture, stayed moist, and were delicious!

Next time, I plan to use diced sweet onion instead of the green onion, and want to add some diced green pepper as well. Great dish, I highly recommend!
