  • They reheat beautifully and taste just as good on day four as they did fresh from the oven
  • The vegetable to egg ratio actually makes you feel good about serving seconds
  • Your kitchen will smell like an Italian grandmother moved in for the morning
02 -
  • Overfilling the cups causes spillover and creates that annoying baked on mess around the edges
  • Letting the vegetables cool before mixing prevents them from prematurely cooking the eggs
  • They deflate slightly as they cool which is completely normal and does not affect the texture
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop for evenly portioned batter and consistent baking times
  • Let them cool completely before storing to prevent condensation from making them soggy
