Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Tips for Asian Inspired Egg Muffins

• For an even set, keep the diced vegetables small and distribute them evenly; large pieces can make the muffins break apart.
• The tops should look puffed and set, with no glossy liquid egg in the center. They may deflate slightly as they cool.
• A silicone muffin pan or paper liners can make removal easier; let the muffins rest briefly before lifting them out.

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and keep for 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot, or enjoy chilled.
