Recipe Notes

NOTE: Heating the muffin pan beforehand results in a nice crispy bottom. You may choose to skip this step.

VARIATIONS:

Melt 3 tablespoons butter (or use bacon drippings) in a large skillet. Add egg mixture and cook as you would scrambled eggs. Cut muffins in half and spoon eggs over bottom halves. Cover with top halves of muffins.
