Recipe Notes
Tip: Make sure to use a whole-grain, lower fat prepared stuffing to make these delicious cups.
If your stuffing doesn’t pack together well into a muffin cup, or is made from whole grains, we recommend scrambling the eggs and mixing all of the ingredients together before adding to the muffin tins.
