What are Baked Eggs?
Baked eggs are eggs that are cracked onto a baking sheet and baked in the oven. The eggs are then served on toasted bread with mashed avocado and olive oil for a full breakfast. By cooking eggs in the oven, you can cook a large volume of them for when you have many people to serve.
Pro Tips
- Use a nonstick baking sheet that is well greased so that the eggs don’t stick.
- Cook the eggs just until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. This will take 7 to 10 minutes depending on your oven.
- If you would prefer the eggs to be well done with firm yolks, simply bake them for a few minutes longer.
- Choose ripe avocados that are easy to mash for this recipe.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Size Baking Pan Should Be Used for Baked Eggs?
It is best to choose a smaller baking pan so that the eggs sit side by side easily.
What Type of Bread Should Be Used?
You could really use whatever type of bread you enjoy the most that toasts well but ciabatta works particularly well as it has a wonderful crusty texture.
Can I Make Fewer Eggs Than the Recipe Calls for?
Yes, you can, but if you make fewer eggs, you will want to use an even smaller pan. Depending on the number of eggs you would like to cook, a large cast iron pan or other ovenproof skillet should work well.
How to Store Baked Eggs
Eggs generally don’t store the best as the yolks might firm up when they are reheated and the textures may be unappealing. However, if you do have some leftover, you could place them in a sealed container in the fridge where they should keep for up to 2 to 3 days.
