Notes
- *I used frozen broccoli, then lightly steamed it before adding to the egg mixture. You can also use fresh broccoli without cooking beforehand.
- FREEZE - place cooled egg muffins in freezer safe container and store for 2-3 months. To reheat, I suggest letting muffins thaw in fridge first, then toaster oven for about 15 minutes for best results. But you can also reheat from frozen, it will just take longer.
- REHEAT - place thawed egg muffins in the microwave for about 30 seconds. If frozen, check in 20-30 second increments.
