  • 2 tbsp ( 30 mL ) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ( 10 mL ) baking powder
  • 1 tsp ( 5 mL ) salt

  • 1 cup ( 250 mL ) buttermilk
  • ¼ cup ( 60 mL ) finely chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in single layer in saucepan. Cover, by 1-inch (2.5 cm), with cold water. Set the pan over high heat and bring the water to rolling boil. Place tight fitting lid on pan and remove from heat. Let stand for 6 minutes. Drain water and place eggs under cold running water for 1 minute or until cool enough to handle. Peel and set eggs aside.

  3. Line muffin tin with large paper liners. Working with wet hands, roll 3 tbsp (45 mL) dough around each hard boiled egg and place in paper liners. Top with cheese.
  4. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until tops are golden and spring back when lightly touched. Cool slightly before serving.
