Cacio e Pepe scrambled egg pepper cups

Pepper cups are the best because you can really add whatever toppings you want to the middle and then turn them into a mini egg bake. These are really fun to make and you could use a tomato or an onion if you don’t have a pepper on hand.

  • lots of black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • sea salt

Instructions

  • Crack 3 eggs into a bowl and add truffle and milk. Whisk until smooth and combined.
