Fluffy Egg Muffins Recipe
Start with spraying your muffin tin with cooking oil or you can use muffin liners to line the tin. Make sure you only use parchment style muffin liners as regular liners may stick to the eggs. Again, silicone muffin tins are the best alternative to regular ones.
Next, make the egg mixture. You will need 1 egg per egg muffin. Crack all the eggs into a bowl. Then, add all the flavorings like Italian seasoning and red chili flakes. The addition of milk helps to make the egg muffins extra fluffy and soft. You will also need plenty of chopped vegetables such as mushrooms, spinach, onions and tomatoes. And don’t forget salt and pepper. Again, feel free to customize with your favorite ingredients.
Now, pour this mixture into the muffin tin and bake. In this recipe, to keep the eggs fluffy and soft, you will need to use a water bath. The steam from it will help with cooking the eggs. The hidden secret behind soft and fluffy muffins.
The best part? The make-ahead feature enables you to prep your breakfast over the weekend and enjoy it during the week. Eating a healthy, nutritious breakfast is totally easy!
