So delicious! I have made these egg muffins several times since discovering this recipe at the beginning of quarantine. They are amazing right out of the oven and the next day reheated. Thanks for the great recipe!
Hi Julia,
I have made these many times and they are so delicious! I will be hosting a brunch this weekend and am planning to double the recipe.
Have you ever baked two tins of these egg muffins in the oven at the same time, and if so, would use adjust the baking time at all?
Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
I have a large party coming up. Heating is not an option. Do they have to be heated?
You can pre-make these muffins, keep them refrigerated (covered air-tight) and serve at room temperature.
How would I save these to eat throughout the week?
Freeze them in freezer bags and take each one as needed. Or, if you plan to use them all within 5 days, refrigerate in an airtight container or in freezer bags.
When reheated or defrosting, how do you do that? Just pop them in the microwave?
That’s what I do!
I made mini (bite size) muffins and they were just perfect snack for Super Bowl party!
So happy this recipe worked for mini muffins! Great idea to make these as mini muffins for a snack!
Hi,
How long did you bake them (mini size)
Thanks!
Janet
Bake mini muffins for about 10 – 15 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness, and adjust baking times if needed (all ovens are different).
how many muffins is a serving trying to figure out calories per meal. thanks
It’s 1 muffin per serving.
Can I use feta cheese or will that not bake well?
You can definitely use feta cheese!
