About this Recipe

Along with how delicious they are, eggs make a healthy addition to any breakfast. Eggs come with lots of health benefits, such as vitamins, iron, and healthy protein. They’re a great way to even out a meal and make sure everyone’s full without adding an unhealthy side.

Chef’s Note: Number of Eggs

The original recipe yields about 12 servings with 24 eggs in the recipe. To estimate how many eggs you’ll need, just keep in mind that you’ll want 2-3 eggs per person at your table. If you’re serving the Oven Eggs as one of a few side dishes to a filling breakfast, you may not need to make as large a batch. Just keep in mind that if you change the number of eggs in the recipe you’ll want about 1 cup of milk for every dozen eggs.

Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?

If you’re making eggs for a holiday or for another busy morning, you can cut down on the time it takes by making them in advance. You’ll just cook the eggs according to the recipe the night before. Then let the eggs cool before covering them and putting them in the fridge. The next morning, you only need to cook them for a few minutes to warm through.

The only problem is that, because of the extra cook time, the eggs could dry out. To ensure your eggs stay fluffy, despite the extra time in the oven, you can try using heavy cream to replace the milk in the recipe. Also, make sure you always stir right before serving to help fluff them up.

Cooking Tips & Tricks

Prep time: Start by preheating your oven and preparing the casserole dish. To make sure they don’t stick to the baking dish, add melted butter to the base. You could also use olive oil or cooking spray.
Whisk: Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until combined and frothy. Then pour the eggs into the casserole dish.
Cook: Pop the eggs in the oven for 12 minutes cook time. Stir the eggs, then bake them for an additional 8 minutes. Stir it again and serve. It’s important to stir the eggs so that they cook evenly and are nicely fluffed. For some extra flavor, add fresh chives, cheese, bacon crumbles, or salsa.

How to Store

Serve: You should never leave eggs at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
Store: After you’ve let the eggs cool down, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Freeze: You can even freeze eggs to enjoy months later. Seal in an airtight container, and they’ll stay good frozen for up to 6 months. Let them thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating them. You can reheat the eggs in a frying pan or in the oven. Be sure to add extra butter or oil to the base of whatever you’re heating them in.

Ideas to Serve

Despite baking them in the oven, the eggs turn out wonderfully buttery and fluffy. Baking them allows you to make a big batch at once, so they’re perfect to feed the whole family. Serve Oven Eggs at a Christmas brunch along with other favorites like Coffee Cake and Pancakes.

Variations

Optional toppings: There are plenty of toppings you can add right before serving. Try sprinkling on some fresh herbs like basil, parsley, rosemary, fresh chives, or oregano. You can also add some shredded cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, or Pepper Jack. For creamy pieces, add cubes of cream cheese or cottage cheese. For some extra flavor, add salsa or hot sauce.
Milk: The milk makes them perfectly fluffy and creamy. If you don’t want to use regular dairy milk, you can use nut milks like coconut milk or almond milk. Some other options are soy milk, oat milk, or rice milk.
Veggies: You can add vegetables to make a hearty and healthier breakfast. Some great vegetables to start with are broccoli, mushrooms, red onions, bell peppers, spinach, and tomato. Whatever veggies you use, sauté the vegetables first to release some of their moisture before mixing them with the scrambled egg recipe.
