Notes

These are one of my favorite freeze ahead breakfasts!  After baking, let cool to room temperature in the tins. 
Place in the freezer for 2 hours.  
Remove and place in a freezer safe Ziploc or container. 
To reheat, wrap in a damp paper towel and place in the microwave at 30 second intervals until cooked through.
You can also reheat in the air fryer at 360 f for about 10-12 minutes. 
Or the oven at 375f for about 15 minutes.
