Pro Tips
- ✓Don't skip greasing the tin well — even non-stick tins benefit from extra spray for egg muffins.
- ✓Let them cool completely before stacking in containers to prevent sogginess.
- ✓Mix up fillings each week: mushrooms, jalapeños, sun-dried tomatoes, or different cheeses.
- ✓These also freeze well — wrap individually and microwave from frozen for 90 seconds.
