Can I prepare the night before and heat it up the next morning? Will it still taste as good?
I have done this, they are best fresh out of the oven, but still taste very good baked and then stored in airtight container or ziplock bag in the refrigerator. Great to breakfast on the go!
I see the recipe does not have baking powder in it – how does it manage to rise?
Hi Glenda, just whisking the eggs and the milk together creates egg bites to raise.
This is yummy , however even though I generously sprayed my muffin tin with Canola Oil spray the egg bites were stuck and it took me forever to clean the pan.. eventually I just threw it (the muffin pan) out. Any ideas on what U could do differently next time.
Hi Ell, not quite sure why they would have stuck that badly. You could try using olive oil or vegetable oil instead of spray oil. Another suggestion would be use mini cupcake liners.
