How’d it Taste?

  • Barb says:

    Would these be freezable? They sound wonderful but I’m a single senior just starting this WOE and don’t really want the same thing for breakfast for that many days.

    • Katherine-Oldways says:

      Hi Barb, we have not tried freezing them—but that should be fine! Let us know how it goes. You could also halve the recipe to make 3 servings instead of 6! Hope you enjoy.

  • Salad says:

    Delicious! I used up some odds and ends veggies from my fridge: chopped fresh spinach, mushrooms, zucchini and a few canned diced tomatoes. My family gobbled them up, will definitely make again! Thank you for the recipe!!!

  • Amanda says:

    Can you make these ahead? How long do they last in the fridge and do you know what temp and time to reheat in the oven?

    • Katherine-Oldways says:

      Hi Amanda, yes you can make these ahead! They probably would last around 3-4 days if stored properly. We suggest microwaving for 20-30 seconds to reheat.

  • Melissa says:

    I’m making them now and they smell delicious. I would like to make a bunch and freeze for on the go. How long would I microwave them from frozen?

    • Katherine-Oldways says:

      We suggest transferring them to the fridge the night before and then microwaving for about 20-30 seconds the next morning. Enjoy!

  • Lois says:

    My husband loves this – we make it every Sunday and he takes two of them to work. He doesn’t care for the zucchini so I substituted a 10oz packaged of (drained) frozen spinach. Also cut the amount of cheese down to about half. These are super easy to make and very convenient.

  • Eaton says:

    Very good. I left out the cheese, added diced tomatoes and green onions to the recipe.

  • cathy says:

    So delicious. I did saute my vegetables in a little olive oil first because I like them tender. Baked 25 minutes in my oven. I highly recommend this recipe.

  • NC12 says:

    Very tasty! Just don’t overfill the muffin tins 🙂
