ingredients

• 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened

directions

1. Position rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Grease a 12 cup, nonstick muffin tin with the butter.
3. In a 4 cup liquid measuring cup, thoroughly whisk the cream and eggs. Whisk in the horseradish, 1 teaspoons salt, and a few grinds of pepper and set aside.
4. Portion half the bread cubes evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Portion half of the cheese and half of the chives evenly among the cups. Repeat with the remaining bread, cheese, and chives.
