Tips For Making Ham And Eggs in a Muffin Tin

Grease Pan| This is a must if you don’t want your muffin eggs stuck. Whether you grease with butter or cooking spray, it is a must.

How Full To Fill | I recommend filling your eggs about 1/2 to 3/4 full. You need to ensure your egg can have room to expand as it cooks. Otherwise, it overflows.

Veggies| If you choose to opt to add other meats or vegetables in the tins, make sure you dice them up small. It saves space in your muffin tins.

Seasonings| Feel free to add a dash of pepper and salt. Or kick up the heat with say cayenne pepper or red chili flakes. It also adds a bit of color to your eggs.
