Notes
Tips
Egg cups can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. If freezing, place a Printable Freezer Meal Label on the outside of your plastic bag or container as an easy way to keep track of the use by date.
Additional add-in ideas include chopped or mashed avocado, fresh mozzarella chunks, chopped peppers, or diced green chilies.
Muffins will deflate as they cool.
Check ingredient labels of the shredded cheese and non-stick cooking spray to ensure both are gluten-free.
