  1. We really enjoyed these little gems! I used chopped ham in place of the sausage -- just a personal preference that my family has. I also sauteed the onion (I used green onion) and bell peppers and then added the ham for a couple minutes as well. I might pump up the garlic powder a little bit the next time I make these. I also went a little heavy on the cheese. I baked these in my silicone muffin pans and they fell right out after baking. I did increase the baking time to about 30 minutes. I wrapped the leftover ones and have them in the freezer -- plus I did reheat one yesterday morning and it turned out great -- just about 20-25 seconds in the microwave. I think you could also add some chopped brocolli or shredded zucchini -- or even some hash browns to these. Thank you, Nicole for posting this recipe.

  2. These are terrific!!! They have transformed our breakfast rush into a calm and peaceful dance!! Best of all they take about a minute in the microwave to go from frozen to a hot brekky!! I have used pork, italian, farmers,and turkey sausage. I have added 1/2 c. frozen hash browns to the mix as well as many different kinds of cheeses. We love these muffins and they are a nice change from the usual breakfast fare. Thank you for sharing!

  3. This recipe is fine and easy enough, so I have no comments on the recipe. What I really hate is the picture does NOT correspond to the recipe. The eggs in the photo are not stirred, mixed, or whipped in any way and THAT is the recipe I wanted to find.

  4. These are so good and very handy. I made this recipe for that "on the go" morning before football games. We literally grabbed a couple a piece and ate in the car! This recipe is perfect for that morning commute or those busy weekend mornings. Thank you for sharing withus.

  5. I made this for a Fathers Day potluck at church today. I originally found the recipe in one of my mothers cookbooks and copied it down. They went over great I even got asked for the recipe. Next time I might try bacon or ham.

  1. Nice simple recipe that is easy to adjust to personal taste. I cut it in half as there's only 3 of us but think they'd make great left overs or an easy breakfast for a crowd. I first sauted some chopped onion and red peppers and used bacon instead of sausage as that's what I had - also went heavy on the cheese and it worked out fine. I did find that 15 minutes in my oven was about right. Like another reviewers idea of adding hash browns and think I'd then make them in my BIG muffin tins to accommodate it all.

  2. What a fun recipe! Super easy! I just chopped up already cooked sausage to put that on the bottom of the cupcake pan, add a little cheese on top of that then cracked an egg in, added salt and pepper and then added a little bit more cheese and stuck it in the oven. They turned out marvelous!

  3. We made these this past weekend. I used cayenne pepper instead of garlic (to limit garlic breath in the early morning). I reduced the size to cup of mix per muffin to ensure they did not exceed the muffin tin. Two of these reduced sized muffins seemed to be enough. Topped with "Red Hot" to add some more spice.

  4. These are a nice, quick breakfast. My only recommendation is to definitely use some muffin cups. I greased my favorite muffin tin. The one that the muffins always slide right out of. Not only did these stick to them something awful, but I really had to scrub to get the tin clean, even after soaking! I substituted ham for pork sausage and left out the green peppers. They reheat nicely out of the fridge, so I plan to freeze a few and see how that does. Thanks for sharing

FAQs

How do you keep egg muffins from collapsing? ›

Placing a muffin tin in a rimmed baking dish of water will prevent the muffins from rising too high as they bake. This prevents them from collapsing and shriveling later. The difference is quite noticeable, and all you have to do is add an extra pan of water to the equation when you bake these.

What makes scrambled eggs more fluffy water or milk? ›

Water is the way to go if your ultimate goal is to cook airy scrambled eggs that feel like a cloud and melt in your mouth. It's as simple as this: add a splash of water to your already-whisked eggs. When the water heats on the stove, it produces a steaming effect, which results in surprisingly fluffy scrambled eggs.

What can I add to scrambled eggs to make them taste better? ›

11 things to add to eggs
  1. A teaspoon of chopped, fresh stronger herbs like oregano, tarragon, or thyme.
  2. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh milder herbs like parsley, chives, chervil, basil, or mint.
  3. Tabasco, Worcestershire, or other prepared sauce, to taste.
  4. A quarter cup grated or crumbled cheddar, goat, or other melting cheese.

Why are my egg muffins soggy? ›

If your egg muffins are soggy, you likely used a lot of veggies with high water content. Next time, saute the veggies before adding them to the egg cups to remove the excess moisture.

What ingredient keeps muffins from falling apart? ›

How do you keep muffins from falling apart? It's gluten. See, to a baker, gluten holds the whole world together.

How do you keep muffins moist and fluffy? ›

If you're hoping to create extra moist muffins or aren't going to eat them for a while, consider using paper liners instead. Paper liners will help keep the moisture inside of the baked goods, allowing the muffins to remain fresher for longer.

What is the secret ingredient to add to scrambled eggs? ›

One secret ingredient to make scrambled eggs extra fluffy is adding a small amount of milk or cream to the beaten eggs before cooking. The milk or cream adds moisture and helps create air pockets, resulting in a lighter and fluffier texture.

Do chefs put milk in scrambled eggs? ›

When asked if adding milk to scrambled eggs is a good idea, Robby Melvin, Southern Living Test Kitchen Director, simply and unequivocally said, "Nope." Chefs and home cooks agree that butter is the only dairy you need when scrambling eggs.

What does Gordon Ramsay put in his scrambled eggs? ›

Ingredients
  1. 6 cold eggs.
  2. 15g butter.
  3. Salt and pepper.
  4. Crème fraîche.
  5. Chives.

What seasoning makes scrambled eggs taste better? ›

Scrambled: Plain scrambled eggs provide the perfect blank slate for all kinds of seasonings. Depending on the day, you can make your scrambled eggs spicy with hot sauce or chili powder, intensely savory with turmeric, cumin or tarragon, or light and refreshing with dill or parsley.

What does adding an extra egg do to muffins? ›

If there isn't enough egg, your batter or dough may not be able to hold its structure or could end up overly dry or dense. On the other hand, if there is too much egg, your baked goods could lose their shape due to excess liquid, or have a rubbery (or even overly cakey) texture depending on the recipe.

Why do my egg muffins go flat? ›

Why Are My Egg Muffins Flat? If your egg cups are deflating a bit when you take them out of the oven, don't worry. This is super normal. The air bubbles in the mixture expand in the oven and then deflate as they cool.

What does adding more eggs do to muffins? ›

Eggs are responsible for giving baked goods structure, which means the amount you use directly affects the resulting texture. Using too few eggs will make your desserts dense, but using too many will make them rubbery.

Why do muffins rise and fall? ›

Incorrect oven temperature (not pre-heated) prior to placing the muffin tray in. Too much batter in each muffin tin. The batter will rise, but crack, then fall/deflate. Generally you should leave about a quarter inch/6.35mm space empty per muffin.

Why do baked eggs deflate? ›

The whisked eggs will have air bubbles that expand, due to heat, while cooking. As the frittata muffins cool, they'll deflate again, as the eggs themselves have no structure to hold them up. Without any starch/flour, there's nothing to help the egg cups hold their shape.

Why does my muffin crumble? ›

Margarine or butter may have been incorrectly measured. Too little fat will result in dry, less tender muffins. Carefully cut on lines found on the butter/margarine stick wrapper. Or, pack it into dry (nested) measuring cup, then use a spatula or straight edge of a knife blade to level even with the top of the cup.
