Firstly, they offer a delightful presentation, as the ingredients are neatly nestled within a cup, making for an appealing visual and enjoyable eating experience.

Green Onion: These are fresh green onions with a mild onion flavor. They add a touch of freshness and a little zing to your cups.

Eggs: Eggs are a protein-packed ingredient that binds your cups together and gives them that classic egg taste.

Black Pepper: This is a common seasoning that adds a little heat and a burst of flavor to your cups.
