Chef's Notes

Tips:
* Muffins may stick to paper liners and greased muffin trays. Use parchment or silicone liners instead.
Flavor Variations:Broccoli + Cheddar: replace the mushrooms, onions & sundried tomatoes with 1.5 cups broccoli florets (SMALL), replace the Swiss cheese with cheddar.
Zucchini + Feta + Dill: replace the mushrooms & sundried tomatoes with 1 cup shredded zucchini (let it dry on a paper towel for 10 min first), and replace ¾ cup of the Swiss cheese with crumbled feta (sprinkle tops with ¼ cup of cheddar/mozza). Replace salt & pepper with 1 teaspoon dried dill.

These are delish! I am usually not a fan of the breakfast egg cups because they are too rubbery.
These on the other hand are not.
The first time I made them with spinach, feta and bacon but the spinach overpowered them so I suggest against using it in these.
The second time I made it with broccoli, onion, and cheddar cheese.
Delish!
Thanks for the great recipe!
