How to Store Egg Muffins
Refrigerator: Once baked, this egg muffin recipe will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days for a quick and easy make-ahead breakfast on the go!
Freezer: If you’d like to keep them longer, I would suggest freezing your egg muffins. We place them in a freezer bag and lay them flat until frozen.
To Reheat Egg Muffins
To reheat egg muffins, simply microwave them for about 30-60 seconds or so from the fridge. If they’re frozen, they’ll need a bit longer, about 60-90 seconds.
