Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF and spray a silicone mold or metal muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

Tips & Notes

  • The bake time will vary by oven.
  • If you are using a silicone muffin mold, be sure to place the mold on a baking sheet before filling it, or you will be left with a mess.
  • Feel free to add mix-ins to the egg cups. Different spices or chopped vegetables are a great addition.
