# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with unsalted butter or nonstick spray.

04 - Transfer toasted bread cubes to a large mixing bowl. Add sautéed vegetables and herbs; gently toss to combine.
05 - In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken or vegetable broth with eggs until well combined.

07 - Evenly distribute the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, pressing lightly to compact.
08 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until tops are golden brown and crisp. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing.
