1. Heat over to 400 degrees F. Spray nonstick cooking spray evenly into the cups of a 24-cup mini-muffin pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper to taste. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan, and Gruyere. Pour the egg mixture into the large bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until they're just combined. Don't mix it too much!
