How to Make Baked Eggs
Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a non-stick muffin tin generously with olive oil.
Step 2 – Crack one egg into each muffin tin and top with salt and pepper based on your preference.
Step 3 – Cook for 9-12 minutes until the egg whites are set and the yolk is still slightly runny in a preheated oven. Be careful not to overcook the eggs as they will continue to cook once removed from the oven.
Step 4 – Let sit for a few minutes. Use a knife to run around the outside of the eggs to carefully remove them from the tin. Serve warm and enjoy! We like to garnish with feta cheese for even more flavor.

Oven Baked Eggs FAQ
The longer the eggs cook in the oven the more set the yolk will be so if you prefer your eggs over medium or over hard, cook longer until the yolks are set. Cooking time will vary but for a runny yolk cook for about 9-11 minutes, over-medium cook for 12-13 minutes and for a fully cook yolk cook for 14-15 minutes. Keep in mind the eggs will continue cooking slightly after you remove them from the oven.
These are best served warmed but you can refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. Which makes it perfect to meal prep for the week. Reheat in the microwave until heated usually it takes about 20-30 seconds.
