Tips

To freeze, allow egg muffins to cool completely, then wrap each individually in plastic wrap. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months. To thaw egg muffins, place in the refrigerator the night before they are needed, and in the morning, warm in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until heated through.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
