Think of these egg muffins as a blank backdrop against which you can add any array of flavors. Using the egg base, add whatever meats, veggies, spices, or fresh herbs that you love and have available.
And you don’t even have to confine yourself to savory items. Try adding ground cinnamon and sautéed apples to egg muffins for a healthy spin on apple fritters!
