Serving Ideas:
Enjoy them warm with fresh fruit like berries or orange slices for a bit of brightness, or add cherry tomatoes for a savory side. For brunch, pair with a light salad or yogurt. Kids can have them with toast or an English muffin, while they’re also perfect on their own with coffee or tea.

5. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the centers are set and the tops are lightly golden.
