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 cannot 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.

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!

Health Benefits of Eggs
Not only is cooking eggs in the oven an easy way to feed a crowd, it’s an easy way to give your body the nourishment it needs to fuel your day! Eggs are a great (and inexpensive) source of protein, along with selenium, vitamins D, B6, B12 and some other important minerals! They also provide some fat that can help increase satiety and make you feel full longer — especially paired with their protein content.

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. 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!

FAQs
How Long does it take to cook the eggs?
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.
How do i Tell when the Baked Eggs Are Done?
When learning how to cook eggs in the oven, the most important piece of information is knowing how long to keep them in there! 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.
Are eggs keto?
Absolutely! Eggs are one of the most versatile keto foods and these baked eggs make a great keto-friendly breakfast.
Are eggs dairy?
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!
how to store oven-cooked eggs
Let your eggs cool completely. Put them in an airtight container or a resealable bag and then store them in the fridge. They should keep for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the eggs for up to six months. When it comes time to eat, let the eggs thaw in the fridge overnight. Regardless of which storage method you choose, be sure to inspect the eggs thoroughly before eating them. In particular, smell them. If they seem a bit off, throw them out.
