No one can resist popping these tasty little minis into their mouth.
Egg salad never looked as good as it does in these adorable little mini-cups. The splash of dill gives the egg salad a fresh flavor, and the crispy mini hash brown cups are almost too darn cute to even eat. Of course, I have no problem popping these little cuties into my mouth one at a time.
