Instructions

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.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Prevent Rubbery Eggs with Gentle Heat 🌡️
Bake at 350°F rather than higher temperatures to ensure creamy, tender eggs instead of tough, overcooked curds that release excess moisture.
Layer Cheese Strategically 🧀
Reserve half your shredded cheese to sprinkle on top during the last 2-3 minutes of baking for melted, golden-brown cheese without it burning throughout cooking.
Whisk Eggs Thoroughly for Even Cooking ✨
Beat eggs for 30-45 seconds until completely uniform to ensure consistent texture throughout the dish and prevent pockets of undercooked egg white.
Use Clarified Butter Instead of Cooking Spray 🧈
Replace nonstick spray with clarified butter for superior flavor and a golden, slightly crispy bottom layer that adds richness to your dish.
Season in Two Stages for Better Flavor 🧂
Mix salt and pepper into the egg mixture before baking, then season the top again just before serving to enhance both depth and surface brightness.
