Baked Scrambled Eggs

Most of you know that I am a breakfast person. I’ll give up lunch any day of the week if it means I can stuff myself silly for breakfast. Even though I don’t particularly care for waffles or pancakes, I’m in love with just about every other breakfast food there is, so finding this recipe for Baked Scrambled Eggs made me so happy.

I was searching out brunch recipes for Mother’s Day. I looked into taking my Mom out for brunch, but when I saw the prices…forgetaboutit! $32 a person! No thank you. I can do brunch much more economically and I’m pretty sure, much more delicious.

So on the Mother’s Day Brunch Menu will be my most favorite breakfast casserole of all time….my Blueberry Croissant Breakfast Bake. You can find the recipe here.

Also on the menu is my Three Cheese Breakfast Bake. Recipe here. It’s hearty and cheesy and full of everything we love about breakfast!

A co-worker had told me that she made Baked Scrambled Eggs for her Easter brunch and that everyone went crazy for them, so I thought I’d give the recipe a whirl.

WOW! I tried it and I loved it! The eggs came out so soft and fluffy. Could you make scrambled eggs in a fraction of the time on the stove top? Sure, but I love the convenience of having the stove free to cook other things while the eggs are baking in the oven. If you have a large crowd to feed, or a bunch of hungry teenagers, this is a terrific recipe.

All the recipes I found were double this amount! I halved it for us. You can certainty double it if you like. If you like to throw in some cheese, or cooked veggies at the half way point, feel free to do so!

Baked Scrambled Eggs
PRINTABLE RECIPE
12 eggs
1 ¼ cups milk
4 tablespoons butter
Pinch salt and pepper.

Heat oven to 350. Place the butter in the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Let the butter melt while you prepare the eggs. Whisk together the remaining ingredients. Remove pan from oven and add egg mixture. Bake for 10 minutes then remove and stir well. You want to break the eggs up. Place back in the oven for another 10 minutes, remove and stir again. My eggs were done at this point, but yours might take a few more minutes. I would check on them every 3 minutes or so at that point. You don’t want to over bake them. If you pull them out at the right time they will be nice and fluffy.
