How to Store the Breakfast Sandwich:
If you are meal planning these ahead for the work week, the best way to store them is to let the eggs cool completely. I typically let them rest in the baking cups about 10 -15 minutes after they come out of the oven. Once completely cooled, assemble the sandwich and store them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Egg Muffin Sandwich Tips:
- To make the Egg Muffin Sandwich, I used these BPA free silicone baking cups.
- I buy my egg whites pre-separated. If you plan to separate the egg whites yourself, you will need about 6 egg whites, 2 egg whites for each egg muffin.
- For storing, I like to place a paper towel in each of the sandwich containers to help absorb any moisture.
