For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of Dijon mustard to the cream cheese mixture. If you don't have seasoned breadcrumbs, you can make your own by tossing plain breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. These appetizers can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving. Assemble the eggs and keep them refrigerated until ready to bake.
