# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Make a dozen breakfasts in one shot and still have time to actually enjoy your morning
- The portion control is built in so you dont accidentally eat three servings standing at the counter
- They reheat beautifully so Tuesday morning feels just as good as Sunday
02 -
- Overfilling the cups means they will spill over and stick to your pan, making cleanup miserable
- Let them cool in the tin for those five minutes or they will deflate immediately when you try to remove them
- Grease the tin thoroughly even if it is nonstick because eggs cling to everything
03 -
- Whisk the eggs vigorously until tiny bubbles form on top for the fluffiest texture
- Let the sautéed vegetables cool slightly before adding them so they do not start cooking the eggs prematurely
