Easy Baked Eggs
Easy baked eggs are a simple, hands-off breakfast that delivers perfectly cooked eggs with minimal effort and clean up. They’re a delicious and versatile option for busy mornings, meal prep, or making a big batch of breakfast sandwiches.
I’m not a morning person at all and I’ll go to great lengths to avoid standing over the stove until I have had some coffee.
That’s why these easy baked eggs are a staple in our house.
They let the oven do all the work while you focus on getting the rest of breakfast ready.
The eggs bake up perfectly and as tasty on their own as they are tucked into a warm fluffy biscuit for breakfast sandwiches.
They are also handy for meal prep or just making a big batch to feed a hungry family.
Ingredients
To make these you’ll need:
- Eggs– 10 of them.
- Heavy cream– While you can technically use other lower fat dairy, the heavy cream is what makes these baked eggs so creamy and delicious. I highly recommend not substituting.
- Salt and pepper– To taste.
- Butter– Melted.
- Cheese– Shredded cheddar.
How to Make
These easy baked eggs have minimal prep so you can make them anytime.
Just whisk the eggs and cream together in a mixing bowl until they are evenly combined.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Set the eggs aside.
Then spread the melted butter out in the bottom of an 8×8″ baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly out overtop of the melted butter.
Then pour the egg mixture into the dish overtop of the cheese.
Bake the eggs at 350° for 35-40 minutes or just until the center is set.
Carefully remove the hot dish from the oven, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat individual portions in the microwave.
Tips and Tricks
- This dish is a great way to meal prep breakfast for busy weekdays, for when you have company, and to use up an abundance of eggs.
- Slice the baked eggs up into equal portions and prep egg sandwiches for an on the go option. If you want to make them freezer friendly, assemble the sandwiches and let them cool to room temperature. Wrap each one tightly in plastic and put them them in a freezer safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months and reheat in a hot oven or in the microwave until warmed through.
- Customize these! Cheddar not your thing? Use Swiss or shredded Italian blend or whatever you like.
