Notes
Note 1: The egg cups can be wrapped in plastic and frozen in a freezer bag until you want to eat them. Two egg cups can be reheated in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until hot. They are low in calories; each cup is about 50-60 calories.
Note 2: Pecorino Romano is a sheep's cheese. Often, people who are dairy sensitive or intolerant can eat it without a problem.
