I made these a couple years ago but forgot to review. They were seriously so tasty! I am not kidding when I say that I nearly ate the entire batch by myself. They were easy but a bit time consuming and I noticed as I formed my eggs, they kept getting bigger and bigger because they were taking a while. My mouth waters every time I think about these eggs. Thanks for this yummy recipe!
