Tips and Variations:
  • Use different types of cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or feta, for a unique flavor profile.

  • Use fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil, instead of cilantro for a different flavor.
  • Top the muffins with a fried egg or a slice of cooked bacon for a more indulgent breakfast option.
Storage and Shelf Life:

  • Freeze the muffins for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven until warm and crispy.
