Frequently asked questions

How long do egg muffins keep?

Up to 4 days in the fridge, or freeze for a month and reheat as needed.

Why did mine deflate?

Egg muffins puff up in the oven and settle as they cool — that’s normal.

Can I make them dairy-free?

Yes — just leave out the cheese; they’ll still set and taste great.
