I make a batch of my high-protein egg muffins basically every week so I’ve had a LOT of practice making them!! 🍳 I want to address all of the egg muffin FAQs in one post so here are my top tips for preventing any issues!! they can be tricky put so worth it when you get the hang of it to prevent deflation and inconsistent results with the sous vide like outcome, I have a few tips: * Don’t over-blend: Once the egg mixture is blended smooth, don’t continue blending. You want to decrease the amount of air bubbles in the mixture for perfectly textured muffins. * Strain the mixture: After you’ve blended, strain the eggs through a fine mesh sieve into a separate vessel. This extra step helps remove any air bubbles that resulted from blending. * Invest in a a good muffin tin: I won’t lie to you, a reliable non-stick muffin tin can be life changing. I personally love my non-stick ceramic muffin tin, which can be more of an investment, but you won’t need to buy liners and your egg muffins won’t get stuck in the tin (no waste!). * Fill to the top and don’t over-bake: Make sure you’re filling each opening to the top so they are just about full so the cook time is appropriately matched to prevent over-baking. Overcooked egg muffins can get spongey or rubbery. You know they are done when you shake the muffin tin and the centers of each muffin jiggle. * Use a water bath: For just one extra step this makes a huge difference! Before you preheat the oven, fill a baking dish halfway with water. Place it on the bottom rack in the oven and when your egg muffins go in, the water bath will steam them to mimic sous vide. * Don’t heat the oven too high: 325 degrees F is the max temperature I’d suggest for egg muffins, you want the eggs to cook slowly, so if your oven tends to run hot cut back to 300 degrees F. They will rise as they bake and then deflate back down slightly, which is normal! I have multiple variations on my site so pick what kind sounds best to you and try it!! these ones are my most recent pesto egg muffins
