Tips for the Best Breakfast Egg Muffins
Here are some tips based on my personal trials and errors (trust me, you donât want to skip these!):
- Donât overfill the muffin cups. They will puff up a bit, and no one wants egg overflowâyikes!
- Let them cool before removing them from the tin. Otherwise, they might fall apart. We want muffins, not egg splatters.
- Experiment with spices. Adding a pinch of cayenne or some garlic powder can elevate your game.
Storing Your Muffins
Whatâs the lifespan of these tasty creations, you ask? Well, if you keep them in an airtight container in the fridge, they should last about 5-7 days. You can also freeze them for about 2-3 months if you want to keep them around longer. Just pop them in the microwave for a quick reheat, and youâre good to go! đ
