Notes

*I used an Italian blend cheese. But you can use your favorite. I feel like they'd be good with a sharper cheese..Make sure that the cheese is finely shredded.
**Take egg out of fridge when you first start as it works better at room temp.
***Make sure to use 2 full cups packed down(don't skimp on flour)
the batter should be sticky & not runny.
Could also add some fresh chopped garlic into these or any of your other favorite herbs or spices.
I used a cookie scoop to put equal portions in muffin pan.
Can warm in oven at 250 degrees for about five minutes if storing in fridge.
