# Expert Advice:
01 -
- They reheat beautifully so you can meal prep breakfast for the entire week in one shot
- The texture is somewhere between a souffle and a quiche but infinitely easier than either
02 -
- Overfilling the cups causes them to puff over the edges and stick to the pan
- Let the vegetables cool before mixing with eggs or they will start cooking prematurely
03 -
- Use a cookie scoop to portion the mixture evenly and avoid messy spills
- Let the muffins cool completely before freezing to prevent ice crystals from forming
