recipe suggestions and tips
- To keep the egg cups from sticking to the muffin tin, generously coat a nonstick muffin pan with cooking spray. Even though the pan is nonstick, the cooking spray is extra protection that the eggs will be easy to remove from the pan. Brushing the pan with melted butter or olive oil are also options.
- Chop the vegetables in small pieces ~ about 1/2 inch is a good size.
- Sauté the vegetables to delicious rich flavor to the egg cups.
- Use a spoon to help remove the baked egg cups from the muffin pan.
how to store and reheat muffin tin scrambled eggs
To refrigerate ~ After baking, completely cool the egg cups. Store them in a airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. These glass storage containers are the ones I use for my personal chef clients and at home.
To freeze ~ After baking, completely cool the egg cups. Wrap each one separately and store in a large resealable bag. The muffin tin scrambled eggs can be frozen for up to 2 months.
To reheat ~Refrigerated egg cups can be reheated in the microwave at 60% power at 30 second intervals. Frozen egg cups will take a little longer to reheat. Heat in the microwave at 60% power for about 1 minute. Continue heating at 30 second intervals until heated through.
