Ingredients
  

  • 12 12 large eggs or as many as you want
  • Salt and pepper
  • Cooking spray

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400℉ (200℃). It’s important to make sure the oven is at the right temperature before you start baking. This ensures even cooking and gives your eggs a lovely texture.
  2. Generously spray a nonstick muffin pan with cooking spray. Make sure to cover each cavity well to prevent sticking. This is a key step to ensure your baked eggs come out easily.
  3. Crack each egg into a muffin cavity, being careful not to break the yolk. For a fun variation, you could also add diced vegetables or cheese here!
  4. Sprinkle each egg with salt and pepper to taste. This simple seasoning will elevate the flavor of your baked eggs.
  5. Carefully place the muffin pan in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Keep an eye on the eggs, as the cooking time may vary based on how runny you like your yolks.
  6. Check for doneness. If the yolk is cooked to your desired consistency, remove the muffin pan from the oven. If not, give them a couple more minutes, but watch closely!
  7. If the eggs don’t come out of the pan immediately, run a butter knife around the edges. This will help release them gently without breaking.
  8. Let them cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy your beautifully baked eggs!

Notes

  • Storage: Once cooled, store any leftover baked eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze baked eggs. Just make sure to let them cool completely and then wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn.
  • Pairing: Serve these baked eggs with a side of toast, a fresh salad, or even some sliced avocado for a well-rounded meal.
  • Customization: Don't hesitate to add sautéed vegetables, herbs, or cheese to your eggs for added flavor!
  • Serving Size: One muffin cavity usually holds one egg, but you can adjust based on your serving needs.
