Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth then pour the mixture into the pan and bake. Watch the eggs closely and stir occasionally to ensure even cooking – about every 10 minutes or so. The eggs are done when they reach your preferred level of firmness.

Recipe Tips
Use these recipe tips to level up your breakfast game and make the best baked scrambled eggs possible.
- Use a blender. Using a blender will not only help get a smooth egg mixture before baking but will also speed up the mixing process.
- While baking stir every 10-15 minutes. Stirring the eggs throughout the baking process will help the eggs cook more evenly and achieve a traditional scrambled egg texture.
- Between 20-25 minutes start checking for doneness. Everyone has a preference for how they like their scrambled eggs. Checking your eggs around 20 to 25 minutes will allow you to get the texture and doneness you prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do baked scrambled eggs take to cook?
Baked scrambled eggs typically take 30-45 minutes in the oven. Stirring every 10 to 15 minutes is key to achieving the perfect consistency. If you choose to use a large pan with additional eggs, plan on a longer bake time.
Can I bake scrambled eggs in advance?
Absolutely! You can bake them ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just reheat before serving. My family did this for a EPIC family reunion where we fed 100+ people. I baked the eggs to a very soft consistency the night before then allowed them to “finish” cooking during the reheating process.
How do I make baked scrambled eggs look like traditional stovetop scrambled eggs?
Stir the eggs every 10-15 minutes and avoid overbaking. This will give them the classic look and feel of stovetop scrambled eggs. I can’t stress enough the importance of stirring and breaking the eggs up as they cook. I have also used a whisk in the early cooking stage to break the eggs up.
How many eggs can I bake at once?
This recipe accommodates 18 eggs in an 8×8 inch pan. I know it sounds like a lot but trust me, 18 eggs will fit.
If you are looking to make more than 18 eggs at a time consider using a larger 9×13 inch pan, you can fit up to 24 large eggs. also, using a convection oven enables you to bake multiple pans simultaneously. Note that the bake time will need to increase but you’ll still want to stir every 10-15 minutes.
When preparing larger quantities, use multiple pans for best results. In a standard oven, it’s advisable to bake only two pans at a time, whether they are 8×8 or 9×13 inches. However, if you’re using a convection oven, you can bake up to four pans, with two on each rack. This approach may extend the baking time by 20 to 30 minutes.
