Oven Poached Eggs
Description
This method uses an oven preheated to 350°F and a muffin tray with one tablespoon of water per cup to create a moist environment for the eggs. Eggs are cracked into each cup, seasoned with salt and pepper, and baked for 12 to 15 minutes. The timing allows egg whites to firm up while the yolks remain runny, resulting in a gentle poached texture without stovetop monitoring.
The baking approach helps keep the eggs separate and manageable, especially when making several at once. Removing the eggs carefully with a slotted spoon or spatula prevents breaking the delicate whites. Some water may appear floating over the egg whites when removed, which is normal and not a sign of undercooking.
The recipe notes advise that once out of the oven, residual heat can continue cooking the eggs if left in the pan, so prompt removal helps maintain a runny yolk and avoid overcooking. This precise timing yields evenly poached eggs suitable for breakfast or toppings on salads and toast.

- 6 egg
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions

- In a muffin tray pour 1 tablespoon of water into each cup you are using.
- Crack 1 egg into each cup and season with salt and pepper.
- Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until egg whites are set and the yolk is still runny.

Notes
- Set a timer carefully to avoid overcooking; the whites continue to firm after removal due to residual heat.
- Remove eggs promptly from the pan to prevent further cooking and preserve runny yolks.
