# Expert Advice:
01 -
- They freeze perfectly, so you can make a double batch on Sunday and have breakfast sorted for two solid weeks.
- The Mediterranean flavors feel fancy but the whole thing comes together with one bowl and a muffin tin.
02 -
- Do not skip greasing the tin thoroughly because eggs bond to metal like nothing else and you will end up scooping out crumbs instead of clean muffins.
- Underbaking by even two minutes leaves a wet center that sinks as it cools, so always check that the tops feel firm and spring back when pressed.
03 -
- Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking if your oven has hot spots, otherwise the back row will be overdone while the front is still jiggly.
- A quick spray of olive oil directly into each cup right before pouring the mixture guarantees a flawless release every single time.
