These are scrumptious!! I added about a half cup of sharp cheddar and made then in a well sprayed mini muffin tin. Baked 22 minutes and they came out perfect! They can be eaten like a zucchini biscuit. Started by filling the 24 cups about 3/4ths full and used up the whole mixture. I’ll make these again and again.
