Tips for Best Results

  • Feel free to get creative with your fillings – anything goes! Try combinations like spinach and feta, ham and cheese, or even salsa and avocado.
  • To prevent sticking, make sure to grease your muffin tin well before adding the egg mixture.
  • If you’re planning to reheat the egg muffins later, slightly undercook them to avoid them becoming rubbery when reheated.
