# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You can grab two on your way out the door and actually feel good about what you ate
  • The vegetables stay tender and sweet instead of turning into a sad soggy situation
  • They reheat beautifully so Sunday prep means breakfast all week
02 -
  • Overfilling the cups means they will puff up dramatically then collapse into weird shapes
  • Letting them cool completely before storing prevents condensation from making them soggy
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion the mixture evenly without making a mess
  • Check for doneness around 18 minutes because overcooked rubbery eggs are sad
