# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You can sneak in whatever fresh or leftover veggies you have and it somehow always works.
  • They keep beautifully for fast breakfasts and taste just as good at room temperature, so they suit nearly any occasion or appetite.
02 -
  • Once, I tried skipping the cooling step before removing from the pan, and ended up with a gooey mess—patience saves your muffins.
  • Using really cold eggs makes the muffins tougher, so let them sit at room temperature first for a creamier texture.
03 -
  • Don&apost overmix your eggs and filling or the muffins will lose their delicate texture.
  • Lightly greasing both the top and insides of muffin cups keeps muffins from sticking—learned after a few stubbornly stuck batches.
