Prep: 22 min | Cook: 25 min | Total: 57 min

Cost: $2.92 total, $0.24 per serving

Ingredients

  • 6 large Large eggs (hard‑boiled)
  • 2 tablespoon Tahini (smooth)
  • 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 cup All‑purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 0.5 cup Milk
  • 2 tablespoon Butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Hard‑boil the eggs

    Place the 6 eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water by 1 inch, bring to a boil over medium‑high heat. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat and let sit 10 minutes.

    Time: PT10M

  2. Cool and peel

    Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes, then gently tap and peel them. Set aside.

    Time: PT5M

  3. Prepare the bread cup batter

    In a mixing bowl whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and ¼ tsp salt. In a separate small bowl combine ½ cup milk, 1 large egg, and 2 tbsp melted butter; pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

    Time: PT5M

  4. Bake the mini bread cups

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 12‑cup muffin tin and divide the batter evenly (about 2‑3 tbsp per cup). Bake for 15 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

    Time: PT15M

    Temperature: 375°F

  5. Make the tahini dressing

    While the cups bake, whisk together 2 tbsp tahini, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper. The mixture will thicken; add a splash of water (1‑2 tsp) if needed to reach a creamy, pourable consistency.

    Time: PT5M

  6. Combine eggs and dressing

    Chop the peeled eggs coarsely and add them to the dressing. Fold gently until the eggs are evenly coated but still have texture. Stir in 2 tbsp chopped parsley.

    Time: PT5M

  7. Assemble the cups

    Remove the baked bread cups from the tin and let cool 2 minutes on a rack. Spoon a generous amount of the tahini egg salad into each cup. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    Time: PT2M
