  • Option: Cut one turkey bacon slice in half and place both halves in one cupcake slot. This will act like a cup to hold your egg.

    adding toppings to baked eggs
  • Place in the oven to cook for 8-15 minutes. After 8 minutes, check the egg yolks to see if you like the doneness. Continue for another 2-5 minutes depending on your desired yolk doneness. Sometimes the eggs will continue to cook after you remove them from the oven, so we would recommend removing them when they look slightly opaque, but still translucent.
    Metal muffin/cupcake tin: 8 minutes*
    Silicone baking cups: 13 minutes*
    Ceramic ramekins: 13-15 minutes*
    *Note: If you add additional bulky items like bacon or spinach, you may need to add more time to cook these ingredients fully. I add about one to two minutes when adding bacon and spinach.
