Ingredients Needed for Baked Eggs
- Eggs: For this recipe you’ll need one dozen eggs. Crack them and add them to a bowl before you carefully pour them in the baking dish. This will allow you to remove any broken yolks or shells.

How to Make Baked Eggs
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grab a 8×5-inch baking dish and spray it with nonstick olive oil spray.
Add 12 eggs to the baking dish, try not to break the yolks. Carefully mix in the chopped chives and shredded cheese using a spatula. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
Carefully add the 8×5-inch baking dish to a larger baking dish. Add water to the larger dish to form a bath. You’ll want the water to reach halfway up the 8×5-inch dish. Be careful to NOT get water in the dish with the eggs.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the eggs are completely set. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Use a spatula to release the sides. Slice and enjoy.
Storage
Store any leftover eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days. Reheat in the microwave. Option to meal prep freezer friendly breakfast sandwiches too.

These are SO good! Made a double batch for brunch and everyone loved them so much. So easy to make and so pretty. I left them in the pan and let guests serve themselves instead of cutting into squares. Will definitely make these again and again.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I am going to a family camp this weekend and this is the perfect way to make eggs for breakfast for a group. Can’t wait to make these!
