The dish was absolutely delightful! I made a few modifications to accommodate my IC diet, such as using red and yellow peppers instead of green, mild cheddar and mozzarella cheese, chopped preservative-free turkey meat seasoned with salt and garlic powder. To prevent sticking, make sure to use plenty of non-stick oil or butter. The outcome was so tasty that I would definitely prepare it again!

Adjusted the recipe by using 10 egg whites instead of 8 and added in leftover breakfast sausage, sautéed mushrooms, and spinach. The muffins turned out beautifully fluffy after baking for about 20 minutes. Planning to freeze half for later.

I tried making it in a loaf pan instead and it turned out great! It was delicious!

I am thrilled that I stumbled upon this recipe! I spontaneously whipped up some egg muffins for the upcoming work week using ingredients I had readily available. This recipe is incredibly versatile. I used eggs, spinach, dried onions (don't judge me, LOL), leftover buttermilk from baking, and Parmesan cheese. I also added 1 tablespoon of Mrs. Dash seasoning, salt, and freshly ground pepper. I followed the measurements while incorporating my substitutes. The result was perfection—delicious and satisfying. I am confident that if you customize it to your liking, you'll be very pleased with the outcome.

I tried making them without butter and they ended up sticking to the pan. After reading the comments, I realized that I should have used butter to prevent this. I'll make sure to use butter next time. Cleaning the pan after using olive oil spray was a bit of a hassle. Despite the initial difficulties, the final result was so delicious that I will definitely give it another shot, maybe experimenting with different add-ins. I'm thinking of trying a mushroom and spinach version next time.

I tried the Birdeye Fajita frozen peppers, onions, and sauce, sautéing them according to the instructions. I also added diced ham and taco-seasoned cheddar. Delicious!

Fantastic recipe! I decided to enhance it by including cottage cheese, which was not part of the original recipe. I opted to bake them in mini muffin pans to keep track of my calorie consumption. A tasty treat with a healthier twist!
