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.

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!

How long to cook eggs in the oven

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 to tell if Baked Eggs are done

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!
