Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 cup milk
• 12 eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used Colby Jack)
• 1 teaspoon Salt (plus some extra)
• 1 teaspoon Pepper (plus some extra)

Instructions for Baked Scrambled Eggs

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. While preheating, place a 9×13 glass baking dish with the butter in it in the oven.
3. In the meantime, whisk eggs with milk.
4. Add cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper.
5. Remove the pan with the butter from the oven.
6. Pour egg mixture on top. Bake for 10 minutes.
7. If you want true scrambled eggs, break up with a spatula after 10 minutes. Repeat this process every 5 minutes until the eggs are completely cooked.
8. If you want to slice your eggs, check every 10 minutes and remove them when the eggs seem set.

Tips for Oven-Baked Scrambled Eggs

1. Opt for an oven-safe casserole dish or a large, deep baking pan. Ensure it’s adequately greased or lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Before starting, preheat your oven to around 350°F (175°C) to ensure even cooking.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined. This will guarantee a uniform texture.
4. Add your preferred seasonings, such as salt, pepper, herbs, and any add-ins like cheese, sautéed veggies, or pre-cooked meats.
5. Introduce a dash of milk, cream, or even sour cream to the eggs. This will give them a creamy and fluffy texture once baked.
6. Transfer the egg mixture to your prepared dish. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes. Halfway through, stir the eggs gently to ensure even cooking.
7. Keep a close eye on your eggs, especially during the last few minutes. Overbaking can lead to dry eggs. They’re ready when they’re just set but still slightly moist.
8. Serve Immediately, oven-baked scrambled eggs are best enjoyed warm. Top with fresh herbs, avocado slices, or a sprinkle of cheese for added flavor.
9. Embracing this oven technique allows for a hands-off approach to scrambled eggs, freeing you to focus on other dishes or simply enjoy your morning!
