Scrambled eggs seem like an easy idea for breakfast, but you don’t want to stand over a hot stove all morning! Plus, who has a pan big enough to cook a DOZEN eggs on the stove top? Not me! Solution: Oven Scrambled Eggs!

I love stovetop scrambled eggs. When I think of a baked egg recipe, it’s not my preferred way to eat them. But this recipe combines two of my favorite things:

Easy cooking method
Scrambled eggs for a crowd!

Why Scramble Eggs in the Oven?

If you’re only scrambling a few eggs, it wouldn’t be necessary. But if you’re feeding more than a couple people, Oven Baked Scrambled Eggs are going to be your new BFF.

They feed a crowd
You don’t need to stand over a hot stove for several batches of eggs
You only need a baking dish, not a massive pan
It frees up your stove top to cook other breakfast goodies (like my adorable Bunny Pancakes!)

What to Put in Oven Baked Scrambled Eggs

This is where you can get creative! If you’re feeling fancy, you can throw in a little bit of something extra. Keep in mind that anything you add in should be already cooked. We don’t want raw meat or veggies messing with the cooking time here! Some good options might be:

Fresh herbs
Cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken would be great)
Cheese (all the cheese! Imagine how melty that cheese would get!)
Roasted veggies (use those leftovers!)

Can I make this dairy free?

This recipe has 2/3 cup of milk in it, which just helps to make the eggs fluffy, light, and creamy! You can use any kind of milk. Nut milk, seed milk, coconut milk…whatever you enjoy! You can also butter your baking dish with margarine or your favorite butter alternative to make dairy-free eggs.

How long do you bake eggs in the oven?

It’s important to know your oven really well. This recipe calls for baking the eggs at 325 for 25 minutes total (stirring once). If you know your oven runs very hot, you may want to cut down on the time to start. Check them at the 18-20 minute mark and see how they’re doing. Ultimately, you’re the cook! You make the final decisions when it comes to time, temperature and flavor – not the recipe!

How to keep scrambled eggs warm?

Turn your oven to the lowest temperature, usually around 150-200 degrees and keep the eggs in the warm oven until ready to serve.
