📝 Ingredients:
- 1 large egg (room temperature)

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat to 400°F. Lightly grease a mini muffin pan or use silicone cups. - Blend the Batter:

💡 Pro Tips:
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container up to 2 days at room temp or 1 week refrigerated.
- Freeze & Reheat: Freeze unbaked or baked. Reheat in oven or air fryer for a crispy finish.
- Cheese Substitutions: Parmesan gives bold flavor, mozzarella gives stretch—use a mix!
- Mini Muffin Magic: Mini size = faster baking + perfect bite-sized snacks!
