Make sure to grease the muffin tin or use silicone liners so that the poufs slide out easily and don’t tear. You’ll need a knife to help remove them and move slowly as they’re delicate.
The cooking time is variable, check the egg muffins every five minutes in the last leg of baking by inserting a toothpick. When it comes out clean, they’re done.
If you’re using mini muffin cups, you’ll only need to bake them for half the time.
