Here is my family's favorite way to eat eggs, my Cheesy Ranch Egg Cups. I get requests for these egg cups all the time, they are delicious! They are similar to a pinwheel that you would have as an appetizer, but when you add some eggs and cheese to them they are out of this world. I am always cooking for a crowd, especially during the holidays, and I was having a hard time finding one egg cup that everyone would like. Then it came to me, ranch seasoning! If you are having a hard time getting kids to eat eggs, add some dry ranch seasoning and they will gobble them up. I promise. My daughter called from college and asked for the recipe because she needed to make a tailgating breakfast for her sorority. Another great recipe to pass down to our kids. I hope your family enjoys them as much as mine.
