Helpful Tips
For a smoother process, prepare and chop all your vegetables and herbs beforehand. Feel free to experiment with different veggies, cheeses, and herbs to suit your family’s tastes. You can also add in some pre-cooked chicken or turkey sausage for extra protein.
Storage Instructions
These Egg Muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or warm them in the oven at 300°F for about 5-7 minutes.
Ingredient Substitutions
If you have dietary restrictions or preference, substitute cow’s milk with almond, soy, or oat milk. Swap out mozzarella for cheddar, feta, or any cheese that melts well.
Pairing Suggestions
These egg muffins pair beautifully with a fresh green salad or a bowl of mixed fruit. A steaming cup of herbal tea or freshly brewed coffee complements the meal perfectly. For something heartier, serve with whole-grain toast or a slice of crusty bread.
