Ever wondered How to Cook Eggs in the Oven? Use this way to cook eggs to feed a crowd that’s quick, mess free and could not be any easier!
(updated jan 2021, narration not changed)
It’s HOLIDAY SEASON
Which means it’s time to have brunch! And you know what?
Cooking eggs for a bunch of people on a stove top, without having to make scrambled eggs, is INCREDIBLY HARD and you definitely can not make them as easy as soft boiled eggs in the microwave.
And, not everyone has an Air Fryer to make Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs
And so? OVEN BAKED EGGS are here to rescue you!
Think of them kind of like egg muffins, but just way simpler because you don’t have to add any fillings! Just crack and GO.
Why These Eggs are Awesome
Eggs are a staple in my house, and Mr. FFF and I eat them all. the. Time. I love me a plate of cod scrambled eggs for breakfast, healthy deviled eggs for a party appetizer, and zucchini noodles with pesto fried eggs for dinner! Eggs are such a great way to get your protein intake during the day and there are so many ways to cook and enjoy them! You could do air fryer hard boiled eggs, fried eggs or what I am going to show you today! Today’s recipe is going to show you how to make eggs in the oven quickly and easily, and it’s the PERFECT way to feed eggs to a crowd! Cooking eggs was never so fast and simple, and they make a really healthy breakfast too!
Health Benefits of Eggs
Not only is cooking eggs in oven an easy way to feed a crowd, it’s an easy way to give your body the nourishment that it needs to fuel your day! Eggs are a great (and inexpensive) source of protein, along with Vitamin B12, selenium, Vitamin D, B6, B 12 and some other important minerals! They also provide some fat that can help increase satiation and make you feel full longer! Especially paired with their protein content.
Egg Nutrition
Now that you know the health benefits of eggs, here are their nutrition info.
One egg has only 75 calories, 7g of protein, 5g of fat and zero carbs!
Such a healthy food!
Texture of Baked Eggs
Making your eggs in the oven will result in a similar texture to hard boiled eggs, but you can make the egg yolks a LITTLE bit softer. However, they will never be as runny as a fried egg. But, the beauty of baked eggs is that there is no shell to deal with! Simply slide the eggs out of the pan and you are ready to eat!
What to serve with These Eggs for Breakfast
On the recipe card below, I’m going to show you how to cook eggs in the oven and it is seriously one of the easiest ways to feed your crew! Like I said, these eggs are great to feed a crowd on Thanksgivingor Christmas morning (or ANY morning for that matter) for breakfast. Serve them alongside some snickerdoodle baked French toast casserole, whole wheat vegan pancakesor even some eggnog waffles and you will have the perfect protein packed addition to your meal!
You could also just make them for any old Saturday morning breakfast, served up with some sweet potato hash browns for a complete meal.
They also make a great high protein snack for anytime of day!
When learning how to cook eggs in the oven, the most important piece of information to take note of is how long they should be in the oven! I recommend cooking them for about 10 to 12 minutes, as that will leave the yolk a bit runny. Add or remove a minute to ensure the yolk is done to your liking.
You will know that your baked eggs are done when the whites are thick and set, and the yolks are thick but not completely cooked! If you like a firmer yolk, cook the eggs a bit longer! Once they are finished, remove the eggs from the pan by running a butter knife along the edges. Serve them up, season as desired, and enjoy
Absolutely! Eggs are one of the most versatile keto foods and these baked eggs make a great keto-friendly breakfast
I know eggs are in the dairy aisle which makes it confusing. BUT, eggs come from chicken not cows. This means that eggs are NOT dairy!

Thanks for posting!! Honestly I used this to make a hangover breakfast, I threw EVERYTHING in the oven because I didn’t feel well Lol. Bacon, Eggs, and toast. I strategically placed each item in the oven at different times so everything was done at the same time! I also used a pampered chef brownie pan (I put each egg in the individual brownie spots) – and they were so cute!!! Definitely will use again!!!

Such a clever idea. Could these be refrigerated and reheated later on? I’m wondering how they hold up. Could be an easy meal prep idea for the week
Foodfaithfitness says
Hi Sandra, I am so happy you like them. Agreed they are great for meal prep. You cna store them in the fridge for 3 day, just make sure they have cooled down completely before putting them in the fridge.
