FAQ
Can I freeze these egg muffins?
Yes, freeze cooked muffins up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in microwave for 1-2 minutes or oven at 350F for 10 minutes.
What if I don't have a muffin pan?
Use a regular baking dish and cut into squares after baking, though the portion shape won't be as neat as individual muffins.
Can I make these without bacon?
Absolutely. Try diced ham, cooked sausage, or vegetables like bell peppers and onions for different flavor combinations.
