Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my egg muffins deflate?
Eggs naturally rise while baking and settle slightly as they cool. This is normal.
Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes. Omit milk and feta or use a dairy-free alternative.
Can I use egg whites only?
Yes. Substitute 2 egg whites per whole egg.
Why are mine watery?
Excess moisture from vegetables. Pre-cook high-water veggies next time.
These egg muffins are proof that breakfast doesn’t have to be complicated to feel intentional. They’re practical, nourishing, and adaptable, which is exactly what most mornings need.
