French Breakfast Puffs

Have you ever had a recipe that you wanted to try the second you saw it? And did? Well, that is what I did today with these French Breakfast Puffs. I was looking for another recipe in our neighborhood cookbook, and saw this one. I quickly glanced over the ingredients to make sure I had all of them and 30 minutes later I was eating a delicious melt-in-your-mouth breakfast puff! When I first took them out of the oven I wondered if they would just taste like muffins, but they are even better in my opinion! Try them, you won't regret it!
