Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or cream whole, half-and-half, or plant-based
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • Optional add-ins: shredded cheese diced vegetables, herbs, or cooked bacon

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This temperature ensures the eggs cook evenly without becoming rubbery.

Step 2: Prepare the Baking Dish

  • Lightly grease your oven-safe baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray. This will help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

Step 3: Make the Egg Mixture

  • Crack the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack 6 large eggs.
  • Add Milk or Cream: Pour in 1/4 cup of milk or cream. This addition makes the eggs fluffy and creamy.
  • Season: Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. You can also add any desired seasonings, such as garlic powder or fresh herbs.
  • Whisk: Use a whisk to beat the mixture until well combined and frothy. This step incorporates air, which helps create that light, fluffy texture.

Step 4: Pour and Bake

  • Pour Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
  • Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. Check for doneness by looking for a light golden top. The eggs should be set but still soft in the center; they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

  • Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. This resting time helps the eggs firm up a bit.
  • Cut the scrambled eggs into squares or scoops, and serve warm. Feel free to top with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, or fresh herbs for extra flavor!

Step 6: Enjoy

  • Gather your family around the table, serve the oven baked scrambled eggs, and enjoy a lovely breakfast or brunch together!
