Published 7/28/2023 • Updated 3/17/2024 Baked eggs are a fabulous swap for hard-boiled eggs, but don’t require any peeling! This baked eggs recipe has been made by so many of you and is one of Fit Foodie Finds’ most popular recipes! It was one of the first recipes I ever posted on Fit Foodie Finds (back when I was in college > 15 years ago 🤯). I used to make a dozen of these every week to have something high-protein to eat between classes. Baked eggs are such a simple, foolproof way to cook eggs and they seriously come out perfect every single time. We like to bake our eggs right in a muffin tin to cook multiple at a time. Best part? They only take 10-15 minutes!
What do you need for baked eggs in the oven?
Eggs: feel free to bake as many eggs at a time as you want. Nonstick cooking spray: you can use nonstick cooking spray or coconut oil cooking spray. Nonstick muffin tin: make sure to use a nonstick muffin tin as the last thing you want is for the eggs to stick to the pan.
How long do you bake eggs in oven?
We suggest baking your eggs for around 10-15 minutes depending on how runny you like your yolk. The longer you cook your eggs, the harder the yolk will be.
10-11 minutes: runny yolk 12-13 minutes: over-medium 14-15 minutes: fully cooked yolk
