Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Spray a 12-cavity muffin pan liberally with nonstick cooking spray.

Carefully crack one egg into each cup, taking care not to break the yolks. Sprinkle 1 scant tablespoon shredded cheese over each egg.

Bake the eggs on middle rack of oven for 16-20 minutes, (the lesser amount of time for runny yolks and the longer time for solid yolks).

Check to see that eggs are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

To remove eggs from pan, run the tip of a knife around the edge of each egg and carefully lift it from the cup.

Serve immediately, seasoned with salt and black pepper to taste.

My Notes

Whether it's a recipe tweak or an inspiration burst — jot it down here.

Pan Selection Perfection 🥘
Use a light-colored, shallow baking dish to ensure even heat distribution and prevent overcooking the eggs.
Cheese Layer Strategy 🧀
Sprinkle cheese both underneath and on top of the eggs to create a delicious melted cheese layer with multiple textures.
Moisture Magic 💧
Add a tablespoon of cream or milk to each baking dish to keep the eggs creamy and prevent them from drying out.
Temperature Precision 🌡️
Preheat the oven to exactly 375°F and use the middle rack to ensure consistent, even cooking of the eggs.
Customization Hack 🌈
Create individual portion-sized ramekins instead of one large dish to allow for personalized mix-ins like herbs, ham, or vegetables.
