I love these breakfast egg muffins their easy to make and easily able to tweak to your taste buds and liking. I made them the way the recipe called for the first, the second time I made a more garlicky version and the third time I made them with more spices like saffron, ginger and cumin and took them to work. My co-workers loved them!!!
