Oven-Baked Eggs

nonstick cooking spray

12 eggs

salt(for serving)

black pepper(for serving)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

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

Carefully crack one egg into each cup, taking care to not break the yolks.

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

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

To remove the eggs from the cups, 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)

Preheat for Even Cooking 🌡️
Preheat your oven to 350°F for at least 15 minutes to ensure all eggs cook at the same rate, preventing overcooked edges and runny centers.
Crack Into a Bowl First 🥣
Crack all eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk gently before transferring to your pan—this ensures uniform texture and cooking throughout the batch.
Season After Whisking 🧂
Add salt and pepper to the whisked egg mixture rather than the baking dish to distribute seasonings evenly and prevent uneven salty pockets.
Use a Water Bath for Creamy Results 💧
Place your baking dish in a larger pan filled with hot water (water bath) to gently cook the eggs and achieve a custard-like, creamy texture instead of rubbery results.
Check Doneness at the Center ✓
Remove the eggs when the center still jiggles slightly—they'll continue cooking from residual heat and set to perfect creamy consistency as they cool for 2-3 minutes.
