From the Recipe Creator: I created this recipe for a wedding shower, and everyone loved it! If spice isn’t your thing, you can make a non-spicy version by omitting the hot mustard and green chiles from the yolk mixture. —Marina Castle Kelley, Canyon Country, California

3rd Place: Cheesy Scrambled Egg Stuffed Popovers
From the Recipe Creator: I usually serve scrambled eggs with English muffins or toast, but I wanted a more dressed-up way to put them on the table. One day, while putting away dishes, I spotted my popover pan in the cabinet, and it just clicked. Popovers look fancy, but they are actually very simple to make. Filled with cheesy scrambled eggs, they turn breakfast into something special. —Jolene Martinelli, Fremont, New Hampshire
