Hey, it’s weekend breakfast time! By now, I’ve explained extensively how I feel about weekend breakfasts. Shove the cereal aside and make something special! Saturday and Sunday are your two days not to be stressed-out and tired. Sleep in, put together some sort of tasty breakfast, and get on with your relaxing day, right?!
I have such a variety of breakfast recipes to make here on RecipeGirl. My favorites to make on the weekend are muffins and pancakes. But during the week, I’m looking for something a bit more healthy. I like to make a double batch of Egg Muffins on Sundays so I have them around for a few days during the week. They’re so easy to grab and go!
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and grease a non-stick muffin pan (affiliate link). Alternatively, you can use paper liners or silicone liners to prevent sticking.
To keep your egg bites from gluing themselves to the muffin tin, you want to keep them from ever making contact with the tin at all. To achieve this separation, youll just need to pop a foil muffin or cupcake liner into each well of your muffin tin. Then, with a light spritz of cooking spray, coat each liner to make sure the eggs dont stick to that either. Finally, youll simply pour your egg mixture directly into the liners and bake them according to your recipes instructions.
Its not that food sticking to a pan ruins your dish; It just makes the experience of preparing, serving, and eating it much less enjoyable. As a result, you should always try to avoid even the possibility of having your food stick to its bakeware. Luckily, its very easy to prevent the sticking.
Egg bites are not only an ideal breakfast item but also one of the best uses for your muffin tin. Theyre pretty much mini frittatas, but even better because theyre already perfectly portioned and ready to serve when they come out of the oven. While putting this delightful dish together is generally very simple, its important to keep in mind that eggs are particularly susceptible to sticking to the pan you cook them in, even if thats a nonstick pan. Because of this, youre going to want to use a muffin liner every time you make egg bites.
Make Ahead Egg Muffins:
Can you make these egg muffins ahead of time so you have egg muffins to eat all week long? Absolutely! You can keep them in the fridge for 4 to 5 days and just briefly re-heat them in the microwave when ready to eat.
Some people have mentioned freezing them. The best way to handle frozen egg muffins is to pop a frozen muffin in the refrigerator the night before eating so it can defrost overnight. Then pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds the next morning. If you didn’t have time to think ahead, you can certainly heat them in the oven to warm them up again– or use the microwave in short bursts until they defrost.
