    I am trying to stay low-carb so I used Carbquick instead of flour. Tasted delicious. I don’t like just the egg muffins without some texture, ie flour, crescent roll, etc, so this recipe is prefect. And the muffins are delicious. I’ll be making these again!

  2. Mine puffed up really big and totally deflated and also burnt around the bottoms. 😭 any recommendations for how to avoid this? Haha. I followed the recipe exactly.

    1. Egg muffins can do precisely what you describe when baking. It doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong when they deflate. As far as dark bottoms, that could be the pan. If they were overdone on top, that could be overbaking, but it sounds like perhaps it was the pan. Spray liberally with cooking spray or brush the muffin cups with melted butter, if you prefer.

    1. I haven’t tried feta in these, but the cheddar helps bring it all together. A shredded cheese in another flavor would work but, not sure about feta.

  3. Hi Melissa! I’m quarantined now because of Covid 19. Would frozen spinach work? No fresh spinach right now😩

  4. I”m wondering if cutting the self-rising flour to 1/4 cup and maybe adding an extra egg and a little more cream would work. Hmmm… 🙂

  5. I was looking for a recipe where I could put a “disc” of whole wheat bread at the bottom of the muffin tin. Your recipe looks so yummy!! I’ll have to figure out how to tweak your recipe so there is enough filling since some will soak into the bread. Thanks for sharing!!

  6. Hi Janet, I always prefer freshly made but, these muffins do reheat well, so, the choice is yours depending on time.

  7. Love this and trying to print but getting 3 pages. How do I print recipe only? I did uncheck the images box.

  8. Great recipe Melissa. I need to get me some biscuit mix and I’ll be taking these to work (I need all the energy I can get). I bet they micriwave well too.
