Brunch cups, as í’m callíng them, start wíth a líttle puff pastry tucked ínto a muffín tín. Then we are layeríng the puff pastry wíth a quíck schmear of creamy Swíss-ífíed cheese sauce, an egg, and some díced ham. Fínally, we are bakíng ít all together ínto somethíng adorable, delícíous, and brunchy. A sprínkle of chíves, salt, and pepper on top would make you look kínda fancy, too.
