Notes
For the best puffs, make sure each egg is fully mixed before adding the next.
Using fresh herbs can enhance flavors even more!
If you're looking for extra cheesy goodness, sprinkle a bit more cheese on top before baking.
If you're short on time, try getting pre-grated cheese. It's just as tasty and saves minutes. 🧀
