2 basil leaves, chopped

1. In a large measuring cup, crack the eggs and whisk them well. Mix in the milk and salt.
2. Line the bottoms of a mini muffin tin with paper liners. Spray lightly with cooking oil to prevent sticking.

4. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes 12.
