# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Make a dozen at once and eat like royalty for days without touching a stove in the morning.
  • Packed with protein and vegetables so you actually feel full, not just temporarily satisfied.
  • They freeze beautifully, turning a lazy Sunday prep into a month of real breakfasts.
02 -
  • Don't overfill the cups or the egg mixture will spill over and bake onto your oven—a lesson I learned the messy way.
  • If your vegetables are very wet (like fresh tomatoes), pat them dry first; excess moisture is the enemy of fluffy eggs.
03 -
  • Whisk the eggs for a full minute so they're aerated and fluffy; it makes a real difference in the texture.
  • If you like extra richness, stir a tablespoon of cream cheese into the egg mixture before cooking.
