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!

Very good. Made breakfast sandwiches with them. Cooked for 15 and had little runny yolks. Will cut it back to 13 minutes next time. Also after pulling out of oven, sprinkled shredded cheese to melt while I finished with the sausage patties and hash browns.” –Melinda

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

Storage

Let your baked eggs cool completely and then transfer them into an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.

Can I make baked eggs ahead of time?

Muffin tin eggs are such a great meal-prep recipe that you can make ahead of time. They will last up to 5 days in the fridge.

Can you freeze baked eggs?

Lots of readers have asked this question in the comment section. We don’t recommend freezing your baked eggs because they will become rubbery when thawed.

Serving Suggestions

We love eating this baked egg recipe with salt and pepper and sometimes a dash of hot sauce. Feel free to serve them next to your favorite protein such as breakfast sausage or bacon.

Baked eggs can be used in place of hard-boiled eggs in egg salad. All you need to do is chop them up!

Ingredients 

  • 6 large eggs, or however many you want
  • nonstick cooking spray, I use olive oil or coconut oil spray
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions 

  • First, preheat the oven to 350ºF and generously spray a nonstick muffin tin with cooking spray. Alternatively, you can use muffin liners, but we still suggest spraying those with cooking spray.
  • Next, crack one egg into each well and then season with salt and pepper, to taste.

  • If your eggs don’t come right out, run a knife around the edges to help them loosen.

Tips & Notes

  • Timing: the longer you cook your eggs, the harder the yolk will be. Start with 10 minutes and go from there. 
  • Muffin tin: make sure to use a nonstick muffin tin or you might have problems getting your eggs out of the muffin tin. You can also use silicone muffin cups like this one.

Hi! Question. At that cook time, are the yolks still runny? It looks like it in the picture but just thought I’d ask. Thanks!

Geese some comments are brutal. Jealous much. I loosely used the recipe for a dippy, on a casserole I made and came out perfect!

Did you use different egg brands for your photo? The yolks are different colors. And I am learning the viola, and understood exactly what you meant! Thank you!

It’s neither viola nor voila. It’s voilà! Don’t get it twisted!

The word is VOILA, not “viola.” A viola is a stringed musical instrument played the same way a cello is, but is an intermediate size between the cello and a violin. Right word use makes an enormous difference. Just saying.

Actually, one could argue that it does not make any difference at all since you still understood what she meant.

Sentence 01: …So you’re point is that their incorruct spellon is okey so lung as there understood?

Sorry, but I disagree. the English language was not made so that people can butcher it.

The Viola/Voila/Voilà example may be small, but when these small issues stack up, you end up with the likes of “Sentence 01” written above.

Great when feeding a crowd. I baked mine for 17 minutes at 350 degrees but found this slightly to long. The yolk wasn’t runny at all. I’ll try 15 min next time and see what happens. It could be my oven is hotter than some.

This is classic for breakfast and appetizer in my family. Normally we add bacon and a little cheese which makes it perfectly succulent xo
