Notes

  • Pro tip: If you find that they want to stick to the muffin tin, carefully use a fondue fork to loosen deeper than what you can reach with your fingers. 
  • These refrigerate well for 2-3 days. Just reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds and enjoy!
  • I've made these with all sorts of ingredients. Think of them like an omelet - a blank canvas to add your favorites, whether that be bacon, tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, and so much more. Choose your favorite cheese to match, and just make sure to fill them to just below the top of the cup. If you use mushrooms or spinach, for example, make sure that you get as much liquid from them as possible before you add them to your egg muffins.
