What variations can I make with Breakfast Egg Muffins?

Try different combinations of vegetables (i.e. sauted bell peppers and onions), cheeses, and meats to create new flavors. You can also experiment with fresh herbs.

Can I freeze Breakfast Egg Muffins?

Yes. Bake according to instructions and let fully cool. Place muffins in a single layer in a gallon-sized freezer container or bag. Seal well, squeezing out excess air, and freeze. To reheat, wrap a muffin in a moist paper towel and microwave in 30 seconds increments until heated through (about 1-2 minutes). Or thaw in the refrigerator and warm in the microwave.
