Baked Eggs in a Muffin Tin is my new favorite way to cook eggs! It's such an quick and hands-off way to cook a large amount of eggs and they're so fun! My young daughter gobbles these up, and they're easy to make and sort out into multiple days-worth of containers for breakfast for my husband.

Wrap sandwiches in a paper towel and place on a microwave-safe roasting rack for best microwaving results. Avoid wrapping sandwiches in plastic wrap; it traps moisture, and the bread will be wet before cooling to a tough, dry crust.

Wrapping Frozen Sandwiches in a Damp Paper Towel

The purpose of the damp paper towel is to prevent the sandwiches from becoming tough when microwaved and helps for more even heating. If you don't use the paper towel, I would recommend reheating on 50% power, covered.
