    The recipe for the veto breakfast muffins does not tell you to grease the muffin tins.

    So glad the directions have been modified, as the version I have omits a few steps. Overall, I was expecting to like this and I really....did not. After reheating, they were chewy and weird and just not good at all. I think I'll stick to the latte and coffee for breakfast.

    Just discovered do not use paper cupcake cases as they stick. Thankful I only used half the receipt as I have a small muffin tin. Try again after I have eaten what I can get out of the cases for this batch.

    Tried these, and was a little disappointed. Tasty when fresh, but chewy and has a weird texture when reheated in the microwave. I'll make them again just to have in the freezer for emergencies, but they're just OK

    When I first made these they were really great but when I reheated them in the microwave they were super salty. I was excited about the chorizo ‘cause I’ve never had it before and it smells good but I think it or the pesto contributed to the saltiness a lot. I would mix them both and add Italian sausage instead if you’re sensitive to saltiness. But I’m a student and don’t have time to make breakfast and this is super convenient. I have to make a lot though to meet my daily protein.

    Made this recipe this morning. Excellent taste. I increased the cook time to about 25 minutes for a firmer texture ;)

    Using a silicone muffin pan makes a lot of difference. Mine didn't stick at all. I've made all kinds of egg muffins before, and no matter what kind of non-stick method I use they still stick to metal. Paper cups are just as bad. I made these with bacon, and thought they reheated just fine this morning.

    I really like these muffins and I want to have them again. I tried to add them to a personal meal plan as a lunch recipe, but the meal planner refuses to allow it. I can add it as a breakfast but not as a lunch. I've noticed this happening before but thought I must be doing something wrong. But no, the meal planner does not like meals that are classified as breakfasts being slotted in as a lunch. Can this be changed please - I don't see why the meal planner should restrict people in this odd way.

    Made my version of this recipe over the weekend to prepare for my work week. I swapped crumbled bacon in place of chorizo and opted out in favor of the pesto. Using a blend of cheddar cheeses , green onions and finely chopped green pepper. I use a hand blender to mix up the eggs and used a splash of heavy whipping cream to the mix. Filled muffin cups as directed and baked as directed. Egg muffins came out beautiful, fluffy and just the way I like them. Great for breakfast with a cup of Bulletproof coffee!
    * side note: no matter how much I buttered the muffin tin .. they still stick!
