Why is my egg muffin recipe soggy?

If your recipe turns out soggy, it’s most likely due to excess moisture from the veggies. The best way to prevent this from happening is to give them a quick sauté before adding them to the muffin cups.

Why are my egg muffins hollow?

It is natural for egg muffins to deflate a bit as they cool. However, if you find your recipe is completely falling flat, it’s most often due to overbeating the eggs. Be sure to whisk them together just until combined.

Do egg muffin cups need to be refrigerated?

Yes, unlike regular muffins , egg muffins must be refrigerated to prevent the eggs and dairy from spoiling.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites. Stir in the hot sauce, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion.
Add 1/4 cup of the egg batter to each muffin cup then layer the bell peppers, spinach and cheese on top.
