We love eggs in our family. They’re a protein-packed, healthy and hearty breakfast for growing brains and bodies (and tired mommies 🙂 ). Making baked eggs in the oven has been my jam lately. It’s a fairly hands-off quick and easy large family breakfast.
All ten of us were on a ski trip vacation the other week when I shared my baked eggs in the oven picture on Instagram. I got lots of questions that I’ll answer for you here, too!
How Long to Bake Eggs in the Oven
I usually bake the eggs in the oven for up to 9 minutes. I usually check them at 7 minutes to determine if I want another minutes or two.
How to Clean a Baked Eggs in the Oven Pan
And the next great question after we cook the eggs in the oven, how to clean
We like runny yolks/hard yolks
Several mommas asked me how to get the yolks to their family’s preferences based on the cooking time. Some families like eggs over easy, others like over hard. At the 7 minute mark most of my eggs are over easy. If that’s where you like your eggs I’d say check at that point. Otherwise add another minute or two. The longer the add the firmer the yolks will be.
BAKED EGGS IN THE OVEN RECIPE
As you can see in today’s Vacation Cooking Large Family Baked Eggs in the Oven video, I preheated the oven to 425. While the oven heated I placed several pats of butter around the pan (on vacation and didn’t have cooking spray). I then placed the two baking pans in the oven with the pats of butter to melt for about one minute.
Next, I pulled the baking pans back out of the oven and cracked about 13-14 eggs per pan. Then I placed the egg pans back in the oven for 7 minutes. At 7 minutes I checked the yolks and added 2 more minutes for nearly firm eggs for this breakfast.
And that is it! No egg pans or griddles to babysit. I was able to buzz around and clean out our vacation rental refrigerator while the eggs baked in the oven perfectly!
Don’t miss today’s new Large Family Baked Eggs in the Oven video! I share how to make baked eggs in the oven, plus deep cleaning the rental house and more on our large family ski vacation. xoxo
Let me know how you do eggs in the oven. I’d love to hear your tips and tricks. Actually, feel free to share any of your oven cooking tricks! We love to cook bacon in the oven and how to cook grilled cheese in the oven, too. xoxo

Yes! We do scrambled eggs in the oven. Bacon too. I’m trying this today. Thanks!
How do you do scrambled eggs in the oven?
Life. Changing. At least – breakfast revolutionizing!!! My family loves fried eggs and I usually cook them two by two by two by two by two by two on the stove. Someone gets hot eggs and someone else gets the first ones. The whole process takes over 20 minutes. With near constant attention on that one skillet.
Bacon in the oven is one of my favorites. Now I have a new favorite!
Thank you for sharing this SIMPLE method and your joyful family vacation video of eggs, cleanup, and roadtripping.
I don’t know why I never thought of this! I’m cooking breakfast for my church next weekend and I usually just do scrambled eggs because it’s easy to do tons of eggs that way. This will be so much better!
There are just two of us now, no kids live close (sigh) but I love your recipes & suggestions & have been able to adapt them for our use Keep up the good work, thank you many many times & God bless you & your family Jam
I’m so, so glad you’ve found the recipes helpful, Jan! xoxo
I do a similar thing in a nonstick frying pan for single or two eggs! Heat and melt a pat of butter in the pan, add eggs, cover and cook for three minutes! No utensils no sticking! Slide right out of the pan ! Love it all!
For over hard eggs, break the yolks before cooking. Cant wait to try this.
Cook eggs in muffin tins Canadian bacon on a cookie sheet and broil toast English muffins. to easily turn them into egg mcmuffins for a crowd.
Great, idea!!
Can you use a glass baking dish?
It depends on the manufacturer’s instructions if the glass is oven safe.
This is a great idea! I love over easy eggs but with a family of four, I tend to do scrambled instead. Easier to make large amounts of eggs. I will definitely be trying this soon 🙂
Just tried them they were yummish, 11 minutes eggs were not to hard not to soft in between over easy and hard, will keep cooking eggs like this now. Thanks for sharing great idea
I’ve been playing with this idea since you posted about it, and I figured out a few tips to scale it down for my family of 7 (6 eggs eaten at a time). So I blogged about it. Of course, I linked to your blog and this post in mine.
If anyone wants tips on doing this with much smaller batches, here’s what I found:
