Storing Easy Egg Muffins
To store egg muffins, first transfer them to an airtight container, or Ziploc bag, and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Or to freeze the egg muffins, individually wrap each muffin with plastic wrap. Then, transfer the wrapped egg muffins to a freezer-safe Ziploc bag, or airtight container, and keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Always label the date on the outside of the container. To reheat egg muffins from the fridge, place them on a microwave-safe plate and heat for about 20-30 seconds.
