Description:

This delightful Chile Egg Puff recipe is a cherished gem passed down from a friend who used to grace our Friday morning breakfast gatherings with its presence. It’s a comforting dish that brings warmth and flavor to any brunch table. I’ve adapted it to fit into an 8″ baking dish, making it perfect for a smaller batch.
