Oven Scrambled Eggs
Description
This recipe requires whisking a large quantity of eggs thoroughly with milk, salt, and optionally pepper, then pouring the mixture into a butter-coated baking dish. Baking at a moderate temperature, the eggs are stirred once during cooking to redistribute the curds and ensure even fluffiness without direct stovetop attention. The use of melted butter adds richness and prevents sticking. Variations include mixing in diced onions, peppers, ham, or bacon and adding cheese in the last few minutes of baking for extra flavor and texture. The resulting scrambled eggs are soft, moist, and suitable for feeding multiple guests or prepping in advance.
Ingredients
- 1/2 /2 cup butter
- 24 large egg
- 2 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ground black pepper if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl or place it in a 9x13 pan in the oven as it preheats to melt it that way while you prepare the eggs.
- In a large bowl, crack all of the eggs and whisk well. Pour in the milk and salt. I use a fine sea salt so if you are using something other than that you may need to add more after the eggs have cooked. Add pepper if desired.
- Pour melted butter in a 9x13 pan (or if it's already melted in the oven just continue). Pour eggs in baking dish.
- Bake for 10 minutes then stir well pushing the outside edges in as they cook faster. Bake for another 10-20 minutes until set, fluffy with a spoon. They might need a bit longer depending on your oven.
- Options: Add diced onion, peppers, ham, or bacon in the mix. You can also sprinkle your favorite cheese on top for the last 5 minutes.
Notes
- Adjust the salt level after baking if needed, especially when not using fine sea salt as suggested.
- Add diced vegetables, ham, bacon, or cheese to customize the eggs before or during baking.
- Use a 9x13 pan to evenly cook and fit all the eggs comfortably.
