If there's one thing to celebrate about warm weather, it's the fact that you can cook and eat an entire meal (with no mess) right in your backyard! These muffin pan eggs take just minutes to cook on your grill, and you can mix and match to your heart's desire. Just tweak the quantities as needed and go to town on all the pancetta, veggie, ham and mushroom, and bacon and cheddar flavor combinations!

I love this!! Can these be prepared ahead of time or are they best fresh? Anyone tried using a mini muffin pan?

Nellie's

These taste best fresh, but can be refrigerated for 3-4 days after cooking to be enjoyed later. We love the idea of mini muffin tins, let us know if you try it!

I LOVE NELLIE'S BROWN EGGS. we are able to recycle the "cartons" . Better than the egg Styrofoam ones as they are garbage in our area!. Always looking for a coupon for Nellie's.

After you have preheated the grill what temp do you cook on for 6 to 8 mins??

Nellie's

Hi Cynthia! Once you preheat the grill to 400 degrees, you'll want to keep it right around that temp to cook the eggs. We hope you enjoy!

Love your eggs - yolks are always bright yellow and very tasty.

Nellie's

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback, Nettie! We'll keep those golden yolks coming.
