Notes
- I recommend grating your own cheese, as the pre-shredded cheese in bags at the stores often contains anti caking agents and preservatives and does not melt well.
- I like to use fresh spinach that's been cooked and then squeezed to remove excess water. You can also use thawed frozen spinach, just be sure to get all that water out!
- These egg muffins keep in the fridge for 3-4 days. If you have any left over, you can always freeze them for another day, then reheat in the microwave when you're ready to enjoy them. Egg muffins will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months.
