- Pour into muffin tin
Carefully pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling about 3/4 full. - Add cheese on top
Sprinkle shredded cheese over each one. - Bake for 18–22 minutes
They’re done when:
- The tops are golden
- The center is set (not jiggly)
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then gently remove with a spoon or knife around the edges.
Tips for Perfect Egg Muffins
- Don’t overfill the cups — they rise while baking.
- If using watery veggies (like tomatoes), pat them dry first.
- Silicone muffin pans work best for easy removal.
- Want them extra fluffy? Add 1 tablespoon of cream cheese to the egg mixture.
Storage & Reheating
- Store in fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat in microwave for 30–45 seconds.
