Helpful tips when making bacon, basil, sun-dried tomato egg muffins:
- Grease of line your cupcake pan with non-stick cooking spray or use silicone liners for EASY removal and clean up!
- Fill each tin ¾ full.
- Sometimes you may notice your muffin collapse a little. This can be solved by making sure your eggs are whisked very well, not using veggies that have too much water, or bake them for just a little longer.
- Customize it! If you don’t like onion, swap it out for another veggie you love. You can add in mushrooms, asparagus, bell peppers, spinach, etc.
- Don’t have bacon on hand? Make them meat free or use diced ham, salami or even pepperoni! Fan of spicy? Add in jalapenos or hot sauce!
- If you use frozen veggies, thaw and strain to remove excess water.
- These egg muffins store well in the fridge for 4 to 5 days in the freezer for 3 to 4 months.
- You can reheat the muffins in the microwave for about 30 seconds or if you have extra time throw them back in the oven at 325°F for about 5 to 10 minutes or until warm.
I hope you love these egg muffins! Reminder: These bake beautifully, but make sure you spray your pan well with non-stick spray otherwise they will stick (or use the silicone liners!)
