Bake until the eggs set, about 15 minutes if you go standard size. In a medium bowl beat together eggs, tarragon, salt and pepper. Grease, butter or spray, well the original calls for twelve muffin cups, but I went for six large size ones because I wanted bigger mouthfuls to sink your fork into and I think I picked right?
