Note from Sabrina
The key to getting Oven Bacon Cheddar Scrambled Eggs so moist and fluffy is to stir them halfway through, when the soft curds form. This keeps the edges from drying out and gets you fluffy, evenly cooked eggs every time.

Pairing Suggestions
Oven Bacon Cheddar Scrambled Eggs are a hearty and filling breakfast, perfect with a side of toast or as an easy Breakfast Burrito filling. They are a great way to free up your stovetop and cooking time for a special brunch. Simply pop these scrambled eggs in the oven while you prepare griddle favorites like fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes or French Toast.
How to Store
- Serve: Eggs are best served warm and fresh, but can be made ahead and reheated. Keep cooked eggs at room temperature for no more than 2 hours.
- Store: Once cooled, wrap the pan with foil, or transfer cooked eggs to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet over medium heat until hot.
- Freeze: Cool completely and tightly wrap with plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Freeze up to 6 months. To reheat, remove plastic wrap and cover with foil before baking at 300 degrees until hot.
Slow Cooker Method
- Spray the slow cooker insert generously with cooking spray or grease with butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, salt and pepper, milk, cheese, and bacon together.
- Cover slow cooker with lid and cook for 1-2 hours on high, or 3-4 hours on low, until eggs are set. Stir egg mixture halfway through cooking time.
Variations
- Meat: Try this recipe with diced ham, shredded Rotisserie Chicken, chopped oven roasted turkey, breakfast sausage, or canadian bacon. Just make sure meat is cooked before adding it to the egg mixture.
- Veggies: Make this dish complete with finely diced veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, red onions, green onions, shredded baby carrots, or spinach. Cut the veggies small so that they cook tender in the short time.
- Cheese: Use any cheese you like like Swiss cheese, Monterey jack cheese, pepper jack cheese, or mozzarella cheese. Get fancy with Vermont cheddar cheese or smoked gouda cheese!
- Breakfast Sandwiches: For an easy no-mess breakfast sandwich, cut the baked eggs in a square the size of your bread. Spread white toast with softened butter, add Bacon Cheddar Egg slice, and another piece of buttered toast. Feel free to add toppings too!
- Breakfast Egg Muffins: Prepare scrambled egg mixture in a large bowl. Grease 2 – 12 cup muffin tins with cooking spray. Fill muffin cups ½ way with egg mixture and sprinkle each with bacon and cheese. Top with remaining scrambled eggs. Bake for 20 minutes until golden and set. You can store Egg Muffins in a freezer safe bag for up to 6 months.
