Sorry for lack of food awareness here 🙈

I made some egg muffins on Sunday (basically just egg, mushroom, ham and onion) in a muffin tin. So cooked egg. Thought they'd last a few days in the fridge. Two left today so scoffed one just now then looked at the other which when pulled apart was green inside 🤢

It didn't smell bad at all and the egg was cooked so not sure if it poses a salmonella risk? I'm wondering if it was just the colouring from the mushroom that sent it a weird colour? Does anyone know if cooked eggs would spoil that quickly in the fridge and if I'm likely to get ill from it?

Did you use red onion.

For some reason red onion can take on a green hue when cooked.

The yolk in hardboiled eggs often gets a green tinge around the outside, don't think it's harmful.

They certainly don't go green when they're off! It'll just be discolouration from the vegetable. I make egg muffins on a Sunday and eat them all week.

Yes red onion was used. Phew, it looked toxic but hopefully was harmless 😂
