Baked Eggs in a Muffin Tin **VIDEO**

I never tried just the egg it's self. Great idea!! I have made sauté veggies with egg substitution (egg beaters or egg whites) which turned out great! You can individually pack them in snack bags and place them with in freezer bags, then into the freezer for daily portions.

What a great (and simple) idea. I am a terrible cook, can't even boil an egg. It is a joke unless it is actually true. But I might be able to bake an egg.

Having eggs cooked and ready to eat is a very low calorie and healthy way to make a quick breakfast, lunch or dinner. By the way, I work with people on weight management issues: breakfast for dinner and dinner for breakfast is a very effective way to lose weight.

Also, gathering the family together for a meal is often easier in the morning than in the evening, when people have so many evening activities. Having eggs ready to go is a great start for all kinds of meals. I notice that eggs seem to be decreasing in price lately, which is a good thing.

I have baked a couple of eggs at a time (in a ramekin) and love them. I'll try this for different ways to jazz up breakfast.

We make these every month or, so... a little differently. First push a slice of Canadian bacon/ham into the muffin tin, then Crack an egg on top (don't worry if some goes under the ham), then sprinkle a little cheese on top. Not to bad cold, either.

Ann

I have baked eggs ... in the shell ... in the oven! Instead of HARD BOILING them in WATER ... I do this instead. EASY PEASY! And LESS MESS!

Terri

Lisa, What a clever IDEA... I am actually going to do this today. Thanks for coming up with such great and clever things..

annie

Ann, I like the idea of canadian bacon and cheese as an option. How long do you bake them?

Sue Clark,

I've made egg "cupcakes"...I scramble eggs, egg whites and milk then pour the mixture into a muffin tin and bake. I've made them plain, with bacon or sausage (pre-cooked), topped with cheese, you can add veggies to the mix...like a baked omelet! Store in an airtight container in the fridge pop them in the microwave to heat!

Katherine

I love your baked eggs in toast, done in ramekins. This is a

fun idea as well. Thanks!

Robin

I love this, I also poach eggs for Eggs Benedict, same method except add 2 Tbsp water first and bake at 400 degrees for 8 mins. So great when doing for a group

Linda

This is brilliant! I can't wait to try this.

Jess @ Keeping It Real Food

Oh wow I will definitely try this one. It's unbelievable what you can do in your kitchen with that little food you have.

Sue,

Bake around 17 minutes. Really depends on how well done, you like the yolk. Yoi might want to start checking around 8 minutes, your first time through.

Ann

Pre-heating the oven right now to make these. Should make mornings easier (and cheaper) this week since I do tend to stop and grab a breakfast sandwich on my way to work each day - thanks!

Anne

Well, I made them this morning and found that they were overcooked at 17 minutes (plain eggs with vegetable spray, but they all fell out of the cupcake tins when I turned them over, which was great). They had some crusting on the outside, which is never a good idea with eggs.

I have a new stove (electric), so maybe I just need to use less time. I took the one that had the least kind of brown crusty bottom and sides, chopped it up and put it in a tortilla with a little cheese. By the way, I rolled it up and then wrapped it in a new coffee filter and microwaved it for a half minute. It was delicious.

It is a great way to those old coffee filters that I don't need in my new coffee pot. Next time, i will put some cooked chicken on the bottom of the cupcake pan and some cheese and the egg on top and cook it for maybe fifteen minutes. Whatever, it is a great idea. I can still use the ones that seemed to overcook a bit; will just cut away the kind of crusty part on the outside. Love the time saving ideas that are very simple to make. I want to get our of the kitchen the minute I get in the kitchen, so the quicker I can cook stuff, the better. I usually use Sandwich Thins (whole wheat) for egg meals. They are so healthy and delicious and I discovered they are at Dollar Tree for $1. Most stores charge around $3 for them. Dollar Tree now has fresh bread for a Dollar, as well as the rest of their stuff.

Sue Clark,

can you freeze these or make ahead for the week? How are they kept to stay fresh?

Lynn

Nice! But when I'm just making one for myself, I scramble one egg in a ramekin and put in the mic for 40 seconds. Keeps me from eating fast food when all I have to do is put it on a toasted English muffin with a slice of cheese!

Carrie @ Season It Already!

To make on a school day for my son, I'll preheat the oven while I take a shower, then fill 3 of the spots in muffin tin with a slice of Canadian bacon pushed down, cracked egg on top, sprinkle of salt, pepper, shredded cheese (takes minutes, just because there's 12 spots, doesn't mean I have to fill them), pop in the oven, feed the animals, get my coffee & take them out of the oven. If my son asks for extra to snack on later, then I'll put them in a sealed Tupperware container in the fridge. I've never frozen them...though I guess you could. You can buy frozen breakfast sandwiches at the store. These are really the only hot breakfast my son eats during the school week. He prefers smoothies with banana, apple, steel cut oats & Greek yogurt.

Ann

This is a great idea! I've done this twice now; the second time I put a very small dab of butter and a sprinkle of grated cheese on top and wow, it was even more delicious. I've tried this recipe as a muffin "omelette" and prefer the baked eggs. Thanks Lisa! I love your blog.

Christine

Do you think this would work with just egg whites too? If so, would that alter the cooking time?

Mak

I can really picture making eggmuffins for a crowd during a family vacation or holiday. With the oven already hot you could toast a pile of muffins on a cookie sheet, melt some cheese on them, let everyone customize them on the way to the plate. Thank you Lisa. Being able to cook for a crowd or a weekday morning are both so helpful. Can't wait to try. At the Cape. In August.

Jennie

Oh wow I will definitely try this one. It's unbelievable what you can do in your kitchen with that little food you have.

Randy Crosby

Am interested in the results & timing from anyone who's tried this (with or without Canadian bacon on the bottom) in a convection oven. 🙂

C

I like my eggs freshly cooked or hard boiled, so this doesn't appeal to me. BUT, I love your baked egg and toast cups! One of my favorite breakfasts!

Robin

I love your baked eggs in toast, done in ramekins. This is a

fun idea as well. Thanks!

I made these, and all 3 of us liked them. I cooked them less time, for a slightly runny yolk. ( If we were going to refrigerate for later, I would cook until solid yolks.)

I covered the other section of the 12 muffin tin with aluminum foil, and cooked 3 slices of turkey bacon on it at the same time at the eggs.

I will definitely do this again. Thanks for the idea.

Jill

These are great. I buy Jimmy Dean "Fritattas". The are made from scrambled eggs and other veg and meat. They are only 220 to 260 calories per two of them. These are fast easy and I don't have to put them in the oven. I just micro for 1 min 40 sec and they are ready. These are great any time of day. They have bacon and spinach, ham and veg, turkey, and veg (I believe). I get the first two. If you want to make your own, it is great because you can add anything you like.

IFortuna

I have found that adding just about a teaspoon of cream cheese and little chunks of avocado make the eggs really creamy and delicious. Of course you can add anything you want such as the Canadian bacon or a little chunks of ham or bacon, vegetables... whatever you would like to enhance the egg making it a kin to an omelette. I wonder what it would be like to cook them in a muffin top pan.? If it works, the egg would fit a sandwich thin better than a regular muffin pan. I may be taking something simple and making it more difficult. LOL

Suzie Carter

I make a version of this. I make up some biscuit mix, roll it out thin & take a glass to cut out circles to fit in the bottom of the muffin tin. I then add a small piece of sausage, then the egg. Pop in the oven & cook. My husband likes chess so I put a little sprinkle of shredded cheddar on top the last few minutes of cooking.

Lisa, Have you tried this in a Ninja Foodi/InstaPot?
