    The only thing that I changed was to substitute Egg Beaters instead of eggs. Loved them. - 2/1/13

    It was easy to make...better on the second day. Thought it was a little dry. I would add onion powder, finely chopped onion or scallions to the mix before baking. - 2/5/13

    Looks delicious, but we're trying to keep sodium down too. Going to try this out with "from scratch" brocolli and rice to see if I can do that. Thanks so much for sharing!

    This tasted pretty good, but mine were only about 1/2 inch tall. I assume there is suppose to be 12 muffins (6 servings, 2 muffins each). - 1/15/14

    I make a pot of mixed grains for the week--wild rice, brown rice, quinoa etc. (1c grain, 2.5 c water, seasonings, bake in a Dutch oven @ 350 deg about an hour, until liquid is absorbed) and always cook extra veggies so I can mix and match for quick meals. This is a perfect use for my prepped ingrds. - 1/1/14

    Maybe I am going crazy, but I have this recipe in my e-mail and printed it out once before but gave that copy to my daughter and tried to recopy it again, but the recipe is not the same, the one I wanted used Green Giant cheesy rice and broccoli that comes in a box frozen. Anyone help? - 4/25/13

    Very Good
    These were very good! Like mini-quiches without the crust. The only problem I have is the sodium. I'd make them again, but I'll use a cup of cooked rice and a box of frozen chopped broccoli to reduce the sodium. Maybe use egg beaters too since some of y family needs to watch cholesterol. - 3/22/13

    468 mgs of sodium is way too much for just one meal in my diet when I am only allowed 500mgs for a whole day. I cook from scratch as such will use this idea. The idea is fantastic considering how we associate muffin with only something sweet. Thanks! - 3/21/13
