Cheesy Bacon Mini Egg Muffins Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Why are my egg muffins soggy? ›

If your egg muffins are soggy, you likely used a lot of veggies with high water content. Next time, saute the veggies before adding them to the egg cups to remove the excess moisture.

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and grease a non-stick muffin pan (affiliate link). Alternatively, you can use paper liners or silicone liners to prevent sticking.

Bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on an English muffin (1 each) contains 26.4g total carbs, 24.4g net carbs, 11.7g fat, 14.2g protein, and 269 calories.

In a hot oven, however, the eggs may puff up and have so much air inside the egg that – with a lack of other structural components – they deflate and collapse. It's a little bit like Goldilocks; you need to mix the eggs just right so there's enough air to make them fluffy, without over-whipping them so they deflate.

If you're hoping to create extra moist muffins or aren't going to eat them for a while, consider using paper liners instead. Paper liners will help keep the moisture inside of the baked goods, allowing the muffins to remain fresher for longer.

If there isn't enough egg, your batter or dough may not be able to hold its structure or could end up overly dry or dense. On the other hand, if there is too much egg, your baked goods could lose their shape due to excess liquid, or have a rubbery (or even overly cakey) texture depending on the recipe.

What Kind of Pan To Use. Egg-based recipes are notorious for sticking to metal muffin tins, even after giving them a thorough coating of cooking spray. Ask me how I know. That said, I HIGHLY recommend you use a silicone baking pan for this recipe.

To keep your egg bites from gluing themselves to the muffin tin, you want to keep them from ever making contact with the tin at all. To achieve this separation, you'll just need to pop a foil muffin or cupcake liner into each well of your muffin tin.

How do you keep muffins from falling apart? It's gluten. See, to a baker, gluten holds the whole world together.

Beating the eggs adds air to the egg whites and should lift the batter, though how much depends on what other ingredients are in your recipe. Heavier ingredients, such as oatmeal, will lessen the egg whites' leavening effect.

Whisk together water, oil, and baking powder.

This is a great substitute if you need to replace multiple eggs in a recipe, as it won't make the baked good too greasy or change its flavor profile (like some other substitutes). A simple combination of water, baking powder, and vegetable oil mimics eggs almost to a T.

If your egg bites are wet, they are either undercooked, no cornstarch was added, or you may have included too many vegetables. Consider sauteeing veggie add-ins beforehand in order to release excess moisture. If adding tomatoes, try salting and draining them before adding them to the other ingredients.

Letting them cool off is important, as hot muffins in an airtight container can produce condensation that causes the muffins to become soggy. Line the bottom of the container or plastic bag with a paper towel before placing the muffins inside in a single layer.

If your egg bake turns out runny it is usually from excess moisture being released into the egg bake, usually from any added vegetables. To avoid this, sauté the vegetables and any dense meats before assembling the egg bake.

Scrambled eggs can become watery if they are overcooked or cooked at too high a temperature, causing the proteins to squeeze out moisture. Cooking them gently over low to medium heat and not over-stirring can help prevent excess moisture.
