FAQ

Why are my egg muffins soggy?

Why are my egg muffins soggy? Adding wet ingredients like tomatoes or onions can create too much moisture in the egg and make them soggy. Cooking the add-ins first is a good way to prevent unwanted moisture.

How long do egg muffins last in the fridge?

Storage Tips

Let the muffins cool completely, then place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can store all of the muffins together in a single larger container or portion them into individual containers to take with you on the go.

How do you make egg muffin cups not stick?

Grease your muffin tin properly and use a good quality non stick muffin tray. If in doubt, use parchment paper or cupcake liners to prevent sticking. The muffins puff up while they cook in the oven.

Can you reheat egg muffins?

To reheat egg muffins, simply microwave them for about 30-60 seconds or so from the fridge. If they’re frozen, they’ll need a bit longer, about 60-90 seconds.
