Easy, quick and very showy Easter appetizer
The egg muffins are a really simple and cute recipe that I often prepare as an appetizer for Easter. They are small savory muffins, soft, colorful and very showy, perfect to bring to the table during the Easter lunch.
I like them because they are:
very easy to prepare
ready in a few minutes
customizable with vegetables, cheeses or cured meats
They can also be prepared in advance and served hot or at room temperature. The colorful bell pepper and aromatic herbs make them even more beautiful and appetizing.
