Notes
- The baking time decides the doneness of the eggs, the longer you keep them in the oven, the harder the egg yolks.
- If you like you egg yolk really runny, you can have a look at them after 10 minutes, otherwise, after 15 minutes both the egg whites and yolks will be completely set. Anything in between these times will give you nice creamy eggs.
- All ovens are different, plus preheating the oven also plays a major part here, so the times can be approximate, it is best to keep an eye on them after the initial 10 minutes.
- If you add any other ingredients to the baked eggs, make sure they are cooked and ready to eat, otherwise they will not have time to cook in the oven, and it will spoil the texture of the eggs.
