And now, for the egg’s next trick…
As you all know, I think eggs are a real superfood. They’re packed with nutrition, and incredibly versatile. You can cook them dozens of ways: fried, scrambled, boiled, poached…
Well, actually, maybe not poached. Don’t get me wrong, they’re delicious that way, but it can be a bit tricky getting them to come out just right. It’s like a complicated magic act, where you have to transfer the egg from the shell to the cup and then from the cup to a pot of water, all without breaking the yolk.
Fortunately, I’ve found an easier way. Instead of messing around with cups and pots of water and vinegar and so forth, you just break the eggs right into a muffin tin and bake them. They come out as perfect little individual bites, with the whites set firm enough to hold in your hand…but when you slice into them with your form, the yolk is still nice and oozy. Ta-da!
These neat little self-contained egg bites are easy to pack up and take with you, either for an on-the-go breakfast or a light, simple lunch.
How to make Oven Baked Egg Bites
- Eggs, non stick spray or muffin baking cups, salt/pepper
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray muffin tin with non stick spray or line with baking cup.
- Crack eggs into tin and season with salt and pepper. I found this fun garlic salt grinder at our local Aldi. YUM!
- Bake for 15-17 minutes.
- I like to store my batch in a small Tupperware for quick grab and go snacks 🙂

How long can I store the baked eggs? Would reheating them cook the yolk?
Corey says
I would say they last 3-4 days in the fridge. That’s pretty much my rule with any cooked leftovers. I usually don’t reheat them. It’s like eating a hard boiled egg….which are usually refrigerated. I hope that helps 🙂
Rita says
Air tight container for about a week. I make them up on Sundays to eat Monday -Friday. I use the warm button on microwave so it don’t cook. I’ll slice a muffin to eat like a egg muffin.
Kate Houghton says
Thank you for another simple, but delicious and kid-friendly recipe, Corey! Every week we usually have at least one “Family Fresh Meals” recipe staple at the Houghton household.
Question about this one: How long will the eggs last, stored in a container in the fridge?
Blessings!

With cold cuts eliminated from the lunch box rotation due to the recent article from the world health organization. How are you changing what goes into your kids lunch box? I am panicked!
Corey says
Check out my lunch box ideas and also my Instagram. I have tons of other lunchbox ideas that do not include cold cuts 🙂 I hope that helps!
Lizzy Fu says
I am browing through familyfreshmeals.com, and found it SO HELPFUL! I am a full time working Mom with 2 babies, and always struggle with what to eat for lunch, haha. Love this baked egg idea! Trying it this evening for my tomorrow lunch.

How do you remove the eggs from the muffin pan?
Corey says
If you prepare your muffin pan, they should slide pretty easily. Some time a small spatula works well to release the edges.
JoAnn says
For those of us who prefer our yolks well cooked, or, as some might say, ruined, do you have a recommended baking time?
Has anyone made these using silicon cupcake liners?
Jill says
Can you freeze them?
lorri says
Can you freeze them??

I use mine within 3 days, stored in a sealed container, in the refrigerator
